The madness of chairs, life, or is it political correctness?!

I've been away for a while from the Blog, due to being quite busy, and getting into the world of second hand GPS hand held units, and 're-cycling' them.

Anyway, a short while back, whilst I was walking through an ubiquitous looking 'cathedral of shopping' in my local dull looking shopping centre, which panders to the 'religious faithful' of the ardent 'religion of shopping' and unbridled fashion led consumerism; in place of the traditional forms of god based reverence, which are slowly fading into history. Is this the 21st century meaning to life?!
I was wondering that all these shopping centres (malls) look very similar, and I could be almost anywhere, in any major town or city, and they would look the same.

                                                     With thanks to 'one man and his blog' for the picture.

I was also thinking, (a dangerous thing to be having two thoughts almost simultaneously!) about one of the latest political debates in the Houses of Parliament, where a proposal was put forward, debated, and then voted for, to change the name of the person in charge of committees, so to prevent any seeming gender discrimination under the latest human rights acts.
This was obviously so important, that a lot of time had to be spent on it, despite the country's economic future going down the drain, and government deficit reaching record historical levels, with no realistic idea of how we are going to pay for it and the compounding interest charged on the debt for decades to come.
It's comforting to know that the cross party committee debate, on the committee name change takes priority over really important things!
So the politicians decided to change the name from 'Committee Chairman' to just 'Chair' and you will now be addressing the 'Chair' at the committee.

                                           Is it a chair, a person, or a politician? I'll let you decide the difference!  

It sums up perfectly the wooden and  dumb behaviour of a lot of politicians these days!
They could have just allowed the traditional meaningful name of 'Chairman' or 'Chairwoman' to be used; but now they seem to be discriminating against the gender of living beings, being scared of gender sensitive politics, in favour of inanimate furniture! I think that the human rights acts should be amended yet again, to stop real living people's names being discriminated over furniture! before it all goes too far with the ridiculous gender discrimination name laws, and dubious uses of the human rights acts.

The world of politics gets crazier every day.........
