Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own, which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it. -Jonathan Swift, satirist (1667-1745)
This raises an interesting question in my mind: When someone is unexpectedly not offended by satire, is he or she demonstrating a magnanimous or an obtuse spirit?
