<<At a client meeting with museum personnel
we outlined the plan, showing the development of native society and
technology, ending the exhibit at the time Europeans showed up. The
museum rep (an elderly woman who seems to have attained her position by

simply being around long enough) chirped up "Oh, and this is where
*people* come in!" In the silence afterward, as everyone's jaw hung
open, her assistant tactfully told her "We consider the original
natives to actually be people." She puffed up and snorted "Well, I'm
sorry if I'm not poLITically corRECT!" as if being so trumped everyone
else. >>

haha that's a great story.
that sounds just like some cranks on this ng.
