42. False outrage?

Thu Dec 4, 2014, 02:45 AM

Dec 2014

Your only problem with rights for blacks is that there's not enough attention given to whites.

Your only problem with rights for women is that there's not enough attention given to men.

Your only problem with rights for Trobriand islanders is that there's not enough attention given to Americans.

Anything that you're not the center of is a threat to your tiny, tiny ego.
