Either I am becoming exceptionally bad at expressing myself (God forbid!) or everyone is wilfully misunderstanding me!!!! Historically, social policy has been, at best, social engineering (or political correctness) depending on your view. For Hitler, his social engineering was politically correct - obliterating the Jews was his goal and therefore politically sound, especially as he based a significant focus of his politics on the Spartans!!! I am exasperated that people do not understand that everything a government does - whatever government - is basic socail engioneering. And when those among us say we should encourage marriage and families, discourage single parents, whatever - that is social engineering. And your political hue will dictate which elements you support - the politically correct.
Eh?
