It's all part of the stupidification of America. You aren't a true American unless you are so offended by something you can't continue life acting as an adult. Most of this is learned from the politicians. The more you ignore their ignorance the better off your life will be.
I recently had a guy try to get me to sign a petition outside a Walmart in St. Peters. I asked him what it was for and he told me to sign it and he would explain it to me. Uh, No.
