Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, August 14, 2nd period]

Josh leaned up against a desk in the Danger Shop, hands in his pocket and a grin on his face.

"President Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House, had a big block of cheese and I can't believe I'm giving this speech," he began. "He did not, sadly, have a cracker the size of Lake Tahoe. I checked. My old boss, the White House Chief of Staff, used this folksy excuse to make us all talk to total crackpots once a year and today that privilege falls to you."

He waved his hands. "Pick a desk, make yourself comfortable, the computer'll drop someone insane off to talk to you. Try not to laugh in their faces--they're all based on real people. Um, sadly."

"It's not expression, it's vandalism."

"It's not vandalism if someone burns a flag they paid for," Summer replied. It made sense to her.

The woman blinked. "...huh?"

Summer felt oddly proud of confusing the woman. "Is it really vandalism if someone destroys their own property?"

"But...but...it's offensive!" she blustered. "I'm offended, even if they're not! And I'm offended on behalf of everyone else who's too stupid not to realize they should be offended too!"

Now Summer was just getting annoyed. Did this woman say she was stupid? Still, she tried not to lose her temper. "It may be offensive to you, but it's still legal."

She crossed her arms over her chest. "So fix it so it's not."
