This is exactly why this country should never try and silence that which offends us.

We can change the channel. We can walk away. We can read or listen to something else. We can influence the media with our own expression of what we believe. We can teach our children exactly why something is offensive, so they will hopefully learn from our example and find it distasteful too, yet respect those who think otherwise.
