Times are frightening and confusing. It's a natural reaction. When one writes to make people angry, one isn't spreading truth. It's just trying to cultivate a demographic and get more clicks.

I've seen that anger expressed by liberals and the alt-right. Communists, fashists and dictators are all great at it. Some commentators make a living off of it. Great work if you can stomach it. Mostly I see far too much of it in myself to worry about it in other people, except to steer clear.David Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037211261399964297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177542608585035781.post-63276733843007481482018-10-06T15:41:25.429-07:002018-10-06T15:41:25.429-07:00Who are these "professionally angry people&qu...Who are these "professionally angry people"?

Eye contact and a smile works for me. It calms frustrated angry people, and scares the hell out of bullies. If that approach doesn't work there's always a punch to the throat.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049654603737586034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177542608585035781.post-73732258153722114982018-10-06T09:14:06.135-07:002018-10-06T09:14:06.135-07:00❤️❤️Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265761805856458521noreply@blogger.com
