I don't know if I phrased that right, but is there now more rage than anger?
I went for my usual cup of coffee yesterday before work, and usually glance at the paper, which is probably a very foolish way to start the day what with all the terrible stuff going on.
I was sick to read that a visitor from another province got knifed by two men in their forties over some argument. There has been other knifing incidents, a drinking party, I recall.
Why is there such an escalation from anger to rage?
I'm not one for violence at all, but I remember the days when men settled fights with fists. I'm not agreeing that it's better to have a fistfight, but weapons?
