Take your pick:
Everything is about race?
Lion killing?
Man/woman who thinks they're a woman/man?
Confederate flags?
muslim extremists in America?
Trump the leading Republican candidate?
Abortions?
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer?

Personally, the one that bugs me the most is the race thing.

The fact that political issues are now called 'controversies' and are intentionally sensationalized to further the destruction of objectivity and intellectual discourse.

It's not an issue many people feel as strongly about as I do.

They keep changing. It's so hard to be outraged at one thing these days.

I love everyone that's upset about one dead lion that got his place in life by making other male lions dead because he got shot by a rich old white guy instead of by some African cattle herder.

Right. Nobody cares about a beautiful snake someone killed in my neighborhood or the thousands of people starving to death every day.

What has the world come to?

When everything becomes a crisis or controversy, it usually means an overdose of hate radio and Fox News.

Mine is why it's so hard to remove plastic packaging. You'd think that given today's technology, I shouldn't have to risk injury to use a pair of earbuds that I bought.
