Whether you agree with Smith or not, have we become such an emotionally fragile and incompetent society that we cannot sustain even hearing controversial opinion? Are we that pathetically sensitive? There are always going to be subjects some will find disquieting. Are we so completely incapable of debating such subjects that we must muzzle any individuals opining on them?



I think the networks have gone too out of fear of even the appearance of "not caring" about an issue. Smith said something stupid (it was dumb), but he didn't really "blame the victim". He straight up apologized for it.

I surely hope not.
