I feel a paper coming on - now where can I find the time?
PC originated with P. Pilate (0000) I'm washing my hands of all these Reds,
Annals of the Neoliberal School, Vol XII No. XIV where P. Pilate argued that
as the mob indicated that Barrabus was more popular with the mob than that
wretched revolutionary oriented Jew that it was just, nay moral even, to
grant economic freedom to one and to crucify the other. Pilate's impeccable
logic has withstood the test of time.
It's Friday afternoon (-;

Browne (2006) also states that PC originated at the Frankfurt School,
whilst Ellis (2004) traces it back to the Russian Soviets.
