Rage, road or otherwise

Last week, a good friend and colleague was the victim of a "road rage" attack that sent him to the hospital (I know - I drove him there myself). This week, a person of dubious intelligence decided that he should lay on his horn because I wasn't going to make a left turn on a red light (to beat the oncoming traffic).

WTF? All I can say is that these people are the worst representation of America and unfortunately, this is the representation that the world has come to accept as uniquely American. It's the same "cowboy, me-first and to hell with what anyone else thinks" mentality that is being handed down from the highest level of government (e.g., the White House) to its citizens. Wouldn't surprise me if these are the same people who show up in their houses of worship and profess to "love the lord". If that behavior is what their lord wants, I want no part of their "lord" and I want my government to keep their "lord" away from its doors.
