A term has become common, "snowflakes", used to describe an overly
sensitive person, incapable of dealing with any opinions that differ
from their own. Such people can often be seen congregating in "safe
zones" on college campuses.

To an older generation whose lives were molded by real life experiences
its hard to understand why so many, mostly young people, fall victim to
this malady.

But, being a 'snowflake' is not limited to the young, this condition
can also be found in faculty lounges, where tenured professors seek
solitude when it appears their desires or beliefs are threatened.
Oddly, these "snowflakes" do not melt when the media is around. They
find the courage to protest when the cameras are running and even
violently engage those foolish enough to attempt to debate them!

The best statement I heard made about this snowflake generation,
"could or even would these 18-25 year olds ever scale the hills of
Normandy?" Dare I say, most wouldn't even know the significance
of Normandy in the battle to save France from Hitler!

Those of us who chuckled when we saw disappointed voters became
unhinged after Donald Trump won the election may have also found it
disappointing so many people really believe the election of one man
or woman, if Hillary won, could actually destroy our great nation.

But, thanks to a public education system that replaced teaching United
States history with jaded professorial opinions, this is not surprising.

The contagion of "snowflake-itus" is not limited to the young, highly
educated or political partisans. It can been found even in Hollywood
where celebrities reside protected by the walls of multi-million dollar
estates and 'red carpet' walkways where their adoring fans know, they
can look, but can not touch!

These actors and actresses on rare occasions expose themselves to the
public, making appearances to promote their latest movie, project or
cause. Many even transform themselves into the fawning groupies when
like minded politicians such as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama come
to town, usually with a self-serving motive, such as seeking donations.
Some celebrities, who are easily transformed into publicity whores even
proclaim they would "leave the country" if an election doesn't go their
way. This cyclical election year joke is laughed at, as none ever do.
And for good reason, with all their complaints, they know there is no
place better to live.
For the Hollywood star who seriously considers leaving, the decision
is never made by an election, its after consulting an accountant!!!
Interestingly, even the financial benefit of departing becomes a moot,
once Donald Trump lowers everyone's taxes as he campaigned he would.
Maybe enough to finance their private jets!
