    What is wrong with people?

    Yesterday, I had gone for a walk and I saw two kids, probably no more than twelve years old. One of them was shirtless and had a towel hanging over his shoulders, obviously coming home from the beach. Anyways, they where walking down the sidewalk when all of a sudden someone yelled at the kid "put a shirt on!" (loud enough for me to hear it clearly a block away) as he drove past them in a pickup truck. The kid ignored him, I think, but was quite obviously disturbed by the incident, as anyone would be when yelled at so loudly by a complete stranger.

      You live in a place where people own pickup trucks. That should have been your first warning.
      Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
      -Richard Dawkins

          You mean, the Kid showed skin?

          Good to see there are upstanding citizens doing something against it.

            I want to yell at kids (parents as well) quite often in my job. Sadly, I'm not allowed to.

                No, I'd quite likely have killed a few of these people if I had to be exposed to them for longer than what I'm forced to endure in the course of my job.

                    I was walking my bike over the 17th Ave. Causeway yesterday, and some asswhipe in a brown pickup flung a chunk of ice at me, hit me in the back.
