Some people just don't get it, or they do get it but are willing to have others walk all over them without any consequences. I understand wanting to avoid confrontation, but I also believe that sometimes confrontation is necessary.

I have been thinking about this ALOT lately, because it seems that things like this happen to me EVERY DAY ! The other day, some kid was going in the opposite direction, and just blew through a stop sign, and HE WAS FLYING ! Another time last week, I was leaving the bank parking lot, and somebody speeds into the lot through the exit, and flips me the digit.
It just seems to me that, generally, as a people, and a society, we have lost respect for one another. It started a while ago, it got a little better, I thought, when 9/11 happened, but it has gotten worse - MUCH WORSE !
My rant for the day.........
