		This form does not allow an immigrant to exercise formal political rights in his or her country of origin, but to the extent that repatriation is the person's ultimate goal, it may very well affect attachments to a new country.

	The origin and nature of political correctness.
		To attempt to point out the odious nature of Political Correctness is to restate the crucial importance of plain speaking, freedom of choice and freedom of speech; these are the community's safe-guards against the imposition of tyranny, indeed their absence is tyranny (see "On Liberty", Chapter II, by J.S. Mill).
		Political Correctness is merely the resentment of spoilt children directed against their parent's values.
		Political Correctness is part of the social decline that generation by generation makes public behaviour less restrained and less rational.
