I'm starting to think that if there's anything at which Americans most truly excel, it's at finding offense.
We take offense at things that don't matter in the larger scheme of things, which is just a waste of time and energy.
We're offended by the mere existence of people who don't believe or live as we do, claiming that by their insistence they be allowed to live as openly as anyone else that they're throwing it in our faces. I mean, seriously, how dare they!
And now we have people all up in arms over the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. I didn't watch it (cat-sitting, ya know), but I've already grown tired of the controversy over one short segment in the four-hour extravaganza, especially as it didn't depict what people were saying it did.
