Political crap. Road rage. Endless lawsuits. Boycotting. Roadblock protests. You name it.

First I'm not saying that things are fine--I know they're not--but does it seem like people are just more and more pissy all the time? I'm beginning to think that there is an underlying and mostly unconscious need for people to just be pissed off. I know people feel betrayed, disconnected, disillusioned, victimized, and powerless(and there are plenty of arguments in favor of that).

Resolved: There's a ton of awful things happening, both to us and to others.

So here's a challenge--without getting political, can you answer my question? Do you think people just need to rage?

My answer is yes. I don't think people can control themselves and a lot of it is misdirected anger from another source.

One rule: Be nice or post goes poof.
