And what's offensive depends on the person and the time. Just think, Lenny Bruce was persecuted (and arrested)for stuff we'd hardly give a second thought to today. I would be offended by what Joan said because it's hurtful to people who already have been hurt enough. But I'd be more offended if someone tried to stop her from saying what's on her mind because who knows, maybe someone's offended by what's on my mind!Sandy Daiglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225814365469216246noreply@blogger.com
