This brings to mind the only good (if morbid and slightly hysterical) laugh
I've had all week.
On the radio Wednesday morning as I was going to (coming home from?) work,
the local DJ's were speaking with a psychologist/grief counselor. He was
saying that feeling anger, even rage, in a situation such as we face as a
nation is perfectly normal. He went on to suggest trying to channel that
anger into something constructive. He ended with the comment that if you
are a person that has difficulty channeling that type of rage and
frustration into anything besides aggression,
"Thank God you're not in charge."
