We've built an acronym decoder at Capital One to demystify and make sense of the alphabet soup of terms found in large organizations. This repo contains the skeleton for a chrome extension written in angular that can be used with a backend or bundled JSON file containing terms and definitions. Feedback is welcome!

I totally appreciate freedom of speech; but do find it tasteless and tactless to behave heedlessly to demonstrate this gift of civilized nations, in the wake of such a tragedy and in light of the multitude of faiths that lost their lives during the last few days.

I highly recommend Scott Long's piece http://mondoweiss.net/2015/01/why-i-am-not-charlie (extra points for reading it all), regarding the incident and it's aftermath; and implore us all to reexamine reflexive Acts of Solidarity and the Right of Free Speech in a pluralistic civilized society

You missed the part where reading the article would help inform you of the long storied tradition in France of this kind of purposefully highly offensive, highly satirical speech. It's like a French version of "truth to power". Their intent is offense, because no one should be immune to feeling offended, the powerful, hateful, etc. most of all.

Scott Long says, "There’s a perfectly good reason not to republish the cartoons that has nothing to do with cowardice or caution. I refuse to post them because I think they’re racist and offensive." I hear a loud whooshing sound as I read that. He completely misses both the tradition and purpose with which the cartoons were published, as well as the entire point of republishing them after the fact.
