Well and reasonably stated, Skip. We've become a society riddled with obsessive, intolerant professional victims, all screaming 'me, me, mine, my way, GIVE it to ME! And don't ever utter or display anything that contradicts my way of thinking. I have ALL the rights and you have none!'
The tail wagging the dog.
And, on another ~ but similar ~ note, I saw a sign I really liked. it read, "Of course you should have to pass a drug test to get your welfare check, food stamps, housing subsidy, free child care, free healthcare, free education, free college, and free cell phone. I had to pass a drug test just to have a job to earn all those things for you."
