[Shotimes] America

[Bill Strobel]

Ah America Land of the Offended.  It always amazes me
that a supposedly free and independent people in the
greatest nation on earth can be offended by what
others say or think about them.  We judge people every
day (who to hire, who to fire, who to buy from or not
buy from, how much to tip, who to say hello to etc)
and we are free to use whatever criteria we want. 
When you take away that freedom for whatever reason,
even the reason of the greater good we all suffer for
it because someone is telling us how to think and why
thy are censoring our thoughts.  Offended I'll tell
you offended that's watching your buddy get blown in
half cause he's wearing a different uniform than the
other guy, that's offended.  Commenting on the
intelligence of someone from NYC because of their
accent is just an offhand comment.  We have a saying
down south from the old Andy Griffith Show "You'll act
like you got some smarts"  words can't hurt you, never
can, never will unless you let them.  What someone
says or thinks about another person does not amount to
a hill of beans so quit trying to tell someone how to
think no mater how politically correct it is at the
moment.  We all have a gift here living in this
country.  I have lived in some real shit holes for
comparison.  So lets make the best of it and let
everyone live and think free.  And please no crap
about the Supreme Court and the law of the land etc,
pretty soon it will be illegal to fast forward through
the trailers at the front of your purchased or rented
videos or DVDs (seriously).  Like the song says Land
of the Free and Home of the Brave.  It doesn't say
Home of the Wimps and the Offended!
