I have finally decided that the PC police have been a good thing. In the old days, most of us would say Merry Christmas without really thinking about it. When 'Merry Christmas' or the baby in the manger, etc. became politically incorrect, the good thing it did was remind us of how important our faith is, and of the true meaning behind the Christmas spirit. I doubt if there would have been a thread on this board discussing holiday greetings if we hadn't been made to feel it was 'bad' to say Merry Christmas.
I have seen more people showing more identification with their faith and beliefs since we were told we couldn't express them. So in the end, instead of ridding the world of the true meaning of this holiday, the PC Police have actually strengthened our need to share whatever our beliefs are with others.
