Frankly, I am amazed at the things people get offended about, but I think it might be a generational thing. The world today isn't even remotely like the one I grew up in. I was born in '62.

I am incredibly impressed by the Native nations. As bad as they were persecuted by the US government, the few survivors put their energy into rebuilding their lives, but granted, different than before. They are a powerful people who honor their traditions. I love going to their Pow-Wows. The clothes are stunningly colorful, the dancing competitions are fascinating to watch, and the drums are mesmerizing. I love that I can open my window and go to sleep to the sound of those drums.
I once happened upon the artist who sculpted the Native American statue that stands on top of the Oklahoma Capital building which happens to be just a few miles from my house. He was also a former Souix Chief. Fascinating man. I can't pronounce nor spell his name, though. Google him.

I guess my point is, there are people out there who have every right to be offended, and I'm sure they probably are. You would never know it though. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Frankly, I say live and let live. That's the hippy in me talking. Why should I have to change the way I speak, act, etc. because you're upset? That makes me upset. 😁 If you don't like what I say or do, go someplace else where I'm not if it really bothers you that much or even ask me to leave if you can't and if I can, I will. I don't see a problem with living in a society where people are allowed to speak without restraint. I used to live in a society like that, but I see it moving closer and closer to an Orwellian one. Terrifying.
