My pet peeve? When folks extrapolate an incident, a statement, a condition, a behavior, etc and then extrapolate and present it as though it were the general condition.....when it is almost NEVER EVER the case.
A tactic well worn out by our 24/7 media. The taking of a minority report (not race) and presenting it as a general condition. The making of a banquet out of a ham sandwich!!!!!!!!!!!
Ther I feel better already!!!!!!
