			Back to the serious OT: 
I am horrified at how easily I was offended when I was younger.  I had such a closed mind, and yet I would have foamed at the mouth if anyone had caleld me on it. 
 
I'm pretty sure I have the empathy not to be automatically offended now, but I know there are plenty of knee-jerk reactions just waiting for the hammer. 
 
I feel like I was a tightly wound spring that is slowly uncoiling.  I hope that by the time I'm 70 I'll be totally slack. 
 
Oh, wait.....
