Road Rage (Update)

[Gregorian]

31. Thank you for taking the energy and time to share this.

I was one who wrote letters. How tragic and difficult for all involved. No closure.

Just as I was reading his wife filed for divorce, the thought went through my mind that she was probably too fearful to leave him. I find this very disturbing as well. I can't imagine that.

What I don't understand is how we can miss these kinds of obvious problems. I think this comes back to something I recall from another thread. About self-policing of society. Policing is not the best word. I mean at least a lower level of scrutiny in society. In retrospect, this guy was like Zimmerman. Why not legitimately try to keep Zimmermans from growing? Just like forums, the collective mind has benefits a single mind does not have. (Except maybe Stephen Colbert.) So this guy had a pattern of being malicious. In some occupations more scrutiny must be paid to recognizing behavior patterns so that this stuff can be avoided. I don't think just anyone can do that. So we need to find those who can. Ignoring those in need helps this to grow into something which becomes destructive. Can we not do better? So I go back to having a tier in society, not unlike actual family members, who have the wits about them to give (I think you said it best: nurture) proper attention to those in need. Right now we not only don't have that, but children are being raised by their peers. That, some claim, is the source of ADD type behavior.

There's also the promotion of this behavior, I just realized! That's the macho male default. But it's Trump. He's like the leader of all those kids who put firecrackers in frog' mouths. I never understood that shit. This also comes from families being raised in this competitive capitalist society. We're pitted against each other. I don't know.

We're a war nation. Resources, lives, mentality. Crazy.
