Get in line :) American Indians are offended by the Cleveland Indians baseball emblem. I am offended by the Peanuts comic strip because it portays suburban white kids as having enormous heads and tiny bodies:) I am sure some people are offended when they see a Japanese automobile or a german one especially WWII vets. The list goes on. Tonight I will simply be offended by how poorly I play chess against my computer :) Ed
