Offended Solution

Offended? The solution is on the way.
Finally...finally...finally...
Amidst much controversy the names associated with the confederacy and its generals that are on buildings, schools, highways and streets are going to be changed to reflect something other than confederacy and its slavery issues. Counties and town names are also expected to be changed. Remaining statues to confederate soldiers are slated to be torn down.
There has already been some changes already and the quality of everyone's life has improved because of it. More is needed. Continued changes will not doubt make everyone's life better when all traces honoring the confederacy are eradicated. They have already stopped teaching  about the civil war in some schools. The next step is to rewrite history as if it never happened. The founding fathers and any other important figures from history that owned slaves need to have their history removed. Their names removed from everything... start with currency, then roads & towns, counties & states,  monuments,  statues, ships... nothing should remain in reference to slave owners and the offensive nature of it all. Washington DC named for a slave owner... got to go. We need to rewrite history so that our descendants will never have to face such offensive personal degradation. They deserve a better life.
Finally,  everyone came see the light at the end of the tunnel, waiting for the day when absolutely no reminders of the confederacy remain. The pain, the hardships, and the suffering of people here, alive today, some 160 years later, can now have a meaningful life once the offensive symbols of slavery are gone. And all with be right with the world once again.
It's absolutely amazing that faced with all the challenges in the world today... careers, jobs, social interaction, finances, and responsibilities ... all will be fixed in a snap... when history is eradicated... such a peaceful easy feeling of well being and contentment will once again elevate the masses.
BUT WAIT... YES I'M BEING TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY SARCASTIC!
NO ONES LIFE IS GONNA CHANGE. THEY ARE OFFENDED BY SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN 160 TO 250 YEARS AGO. LETS GET REAL! SUCK IT UP
... GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND STOP BLAMING HISTORY FOR YOUR LACK OF WELL BEING TODAY.  IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE LIFE YOU WANTED ITS NOT THE FAULT OF HISTORY.
 Some people simply need to get a life. Everything offends them and they think that if they get rid of what offends them that their life will change and they can be happy. Reality... changing 165 year old history will never change your life. Your happiness and well being is on you today,  thinking otherwise is simply your short comings to be mature and stop blaming history for your lack of happiness. I'm not sure which is worse... Those that are offended by everything... Or those that cater to appeasing them, give their immaturity creditability.
But that's just my perspective... I'm entitled to it... just as you are entitled to yours. The difference is.. I'm not trying to force mine upon others.
