  SOME GET ANGRY II

We are told "anger is a natural human emotion", but that revelation is hardly a surprise. We know that, for example, there was LOTS of anger about certain illustrations. And while that distinctive outpouring of outrage still has its undercurrents and to some extent spills over into other reasons for anger, we've been here before and know that those illustrations are hardly the only subject which causes anger in many.

_____________________________


Some are angry at a Marine's lyrics, although the angered haven't apparently listened to those lyrics.

Some are angry at a Norwegian singer for disrobing, although she doesn't actually take her clothes off.

Some are at angry that others think fighting back is a good idea.

Some are angry over an attempt to try to prevent another 7-7.

For some, obviously anger is a given.

There is concern that a film on intolerance might make some angry.

And sometimes TV shows get some angry.

A very old guy who spends his days in a bathrobe can even cause anger.

Larry King tried to figure out the anger, and even brought in callers from "Sturgis, Michigan" and "Cleveland".

A few seem to think that one party is directly responsible for making the second party angry.

A VERY long dead pope's call to arms still makes some angry.

However, a current cardinal sympathises with the angry.

Discrimination understandably gets some people angry.

And anger seems to be finding new locations where it is expressed.

Indeed, recently there has been "simmering" anger in Mt Roskill.

And if denied entry into a club, some are likely to be angered.

A small percentage on an entire continent are apparently getting angrier by the day.

There is anger in another country far to the south.

Rather than saying "I'll pass on that, thank you," some get really angry.

Some think they are entitled to get angry over certain questions.

Gosh, even the wind is angry.

And we see angry waves also.

Certain web sites naturally get some angry.

A secretary general knows anger when he sees it.

High fliers are even angry, too.

Ministers' remarks can get some people angry of course.

A prominent Christian thinks the anger is a "symptom of a more serious disease."

Someone slightly less prominent thinks it has to do with something less clinical.

Some suggest what we must not do and why.

Some think "anger management" is useful.

And just when "anger" seems to be diminishing a bit, it appears again over smallish matters -- like deaths following attempted assassinations.

Some feel that the devil is at least partly responsible.

A few also believe it is necessary to start "reviewing the unnatural aspect of anger: its expression.". . .

. . . Which might be a good idea that. Because some others also appear to be starting to get angry, too

©? Copyright? Well, myself, I guess. But there is nothing too dramatic here. I was born in 1965. I've got graduate degrees in political science and in history, and I've taught in an American university. More importantly, I like music, books, travel, and find skiing a bit of a challenge -- however, as my wife LOVES to ski (and can ski very well!), of course I LOVE to ski, too. ;-) And, overall, I'm probably a lot like yourself: Nobody special, just someone who looks at what's reported and too often thinks, "Hmm . . . that doesn't sound quite right." And then I bash a keyboard.

"The more he saw of Europe, the dearer his own country became, taking a luster to all its parts that no one bound to the farther shore could know it merited." (p. 331)

Where have you gone, F.D.R.?

"Do not let us be hair splitters. Let us not ask ourselves whether the Americas should begin to defend themselves after the first attack, or the fifth attack, or the tenth attack, or the twentieth attack. The time for active defense is now." (President Franklin Roosevelt, radio address . . . September 11, 1941.)

Ah, being married to an English, T.R. fan. Rather amazing that:
