Now *I'M* offended!

I was listening to the radio this morning and there was this story about parents trying to change a gift policy banned anything "to do with a religion or a religious celebration." Apparently, someone brought up the argument "what if someone donated something with a swastika on it". (I heard the audio.) Well, the easy answer is you say, "No thanks." The announcers brought up the issue of over sensitivity. The liberal wing (and I have to agree) is so afraid of offending *anyone* that the idea of diversity that the left is always going on about is being crushed. But there's a bigger issue here (to me) and it started getting me riled up in the car.

I am of Jewish descent but I am an atheist. Yet, I still feel a twinge every time someone or something is compared to Nazis, Hitler or swastikas. When people start comparing every little thing they dislike to an organization which tried to exterminate my ancestors, I find that offensive. Obama is not Hitler. Santa is not a swastika. Government health care is not Auschwitz.

See each individual action for what it is, good or bad. Celebrate diversity. Accept everyone. I'm pretty sure all of your fake gods would agree with this.
