I like and agree with the author&#x27;s message. I would appreciate if we as a society accepted the notion:<p>&quot;...we have the ability to decide not to be offended.&quot;<p>My next question is, how do we address the blasphemous things people say in our everyday political discussion? How does society correctly stifle the pundits that shout the xenophobic soundbites?<p>What do we change so that speech that offends for the sole purpose of offending falls on deaf ears?
