Letter from Jim Ludwig
War – May 2002 – Colorado Central Magazine
Editors:
Martha, don’t hold your breath until you find someone to talk about this war.
Even you in your wisdom could not bring yourself to call the war what it is: It is a religious war, and it is not politically correct to talk about religion at this or any other time.
The insidious thing about political correctness is that the fear of making an incorrect statement extends to all remotely related subjects, which translated into miners’ lingo means “smile and keep your mouth shut.”
That is exactly what I will do.
