Road Rage

Road Rage has become quite the problem around here lately!

Used to be that two people might honk their horns at each other but I have twice seen impressive examples of road rage in the month of August .... and we are how many days into August?

Of course it could be the heat.
It was over 90 yesterday when two drivers in front of me got into it!
Sure one car made a mistake - don't we all?
But not a stop your car in the middle of the main road through town and have a slug-fest!, kind of mistake.
Of course the indignant one was the drunk ...

Over the weekend it was only in the 70's.
And an altercation on the same location,
Led to a shoot out!

Really?
We as a culture have grown so intolerant of each other - that death is the only solution?!?!?!?!
Luckily, they both were so stoned that no injuries were reported,
Of course these incidents occurring in front of the local pot shop, has NOTHING to do with this!
Oh, yeah, that cock and bull about stoners are mellow and peaceful - NOPE!

Tax money is all sacred,
No matter how many lives it costs .....
Gees.

But back to the real issue-
Intolerance.

In my little town,
The blacks fight the Samoans.
Everyone fights the Hispanics
Nobody likes the whites.
Add alcohol, drugs and youthful smart-mouths and tragedy soon follows!
And that is a direct result of poor leadership in government and schools!
May as well as lay blame where it belongs!

How to correct?

Common identity, langusage cultur'
Teach tolewrance and appreciation of others.
Slowly, but change can occur - but NOT under a culture devoted to empowering difference.

Oh, and as a parting shot:

Yes, their is a standard for both culture and truth.
And neither are subjective .....
