I was annoyed by the constant heightend awareness of political correctness, and inspired to mock it, because it seemed so selfrighteous. Part of the fun of Tiki for me lay in it's political incorrectness. But lately, things have been going a little too far in the direction of proud ignorance. I understand that there is a loyalty to ones favourite sports team that makes one root for them even if they suck. It's kinda cool. But this here is not sports, it's your goddamn life and that of your children, and to go ahead and be in denial even when the wrongs to basic human values are so apparent just baffles my mind.
