Most PC stuff seems to be about giving people who are desperate to be offended by something, something they can pretend to be offended about...........if you see what I mean.
baa baa black sheep , and black board allways have been and always will be, agree with kennyp
I've always suspected that the whole PC movement was started or at least propogated by raging c***s, racists and general sh*tehawks, since it's so often used as a get out clause... hence the popular phrase "But of course, you're not allowed to say that anymore, it's not PC" to excuse outrageously ignorant, offensive or racist comments.

pointing out & naming all the noteworthy things to see across the horizon & also gave a braille translationI'm not blind, but as I understand the world, those things exist whether or not they can be seen. They are still there (I think) if one goes up t the viewpoint at night or in the fog. Unless you seriously doubt the persistence of physical objects through time when you cannot see them, it is hard to see the problem with a blind person standing at the viewpoint and saying to himself "in that direction is Cadair Idris".
A few years back there were a set of radio programmes that David Blunket made of his sound recordings of the landscape at night, because at night you can hear further. The recordings and his monologues were some of the the most remarkable radio I've ever heard. So I'd agree that you can be blind and be very interested in the horizon.
