Aw, man! This is what's wrong with the world in the 90's.

EVERYONE is constantly offended by EVERYTHING. In fact Felix
Lugo's name offends me because my parents were killed by lions
while on safari in Africa, and Felix is also a name of a cartoon cat. 

I'm appalled that Felix's parents could have named their child
"Felix" seeing as it's offensive to people who have had thier 
parents eaten by lions. ;-)

Not that I'm trivializing your struggle in your every day life,
against bigotry, but to draw offense from Felix's statement is
a little weak, I think, for an adult.

Mission for humanity: stop being so offended, and stop suing each other.

We'll be much more happy!
