Performing the Cult of the Offended

Jimmy Carter gave the offended the right to maim and murder. When the offended then grab a knife to take out your eye, or when the offended call in a bomb threat, or when the offended refuse to publish your work for fear of the other, more offended, being even more so highly offended so they make take up a gun and shoot you in the face -- something vital has been lost when the offended have the right to destroy whatever they do not like in the name of their God and their wounded feelings.
