I listened to debates and the news instead. Nearly everything was Islam, Islam, Islam, right—cartoons here, terror there, and in the middle of it all there was one of the many debates about freedom of speech. Again and again, it’s their problem if they feel offended and so on. That really bothered me. I wondered why. Where does the urge to offend come from? While I was thinking of those things, I realized something. Why is this being discussed really? I thought it had to be because society wanted to get rid of us. Weed us out. Do you know that feeling, when you realize you’re a weed?
