...The new country seems angry—quietly so, not sure what to do about it, but looking for someone to hit...

Damn, that's a strong statement but seems true. Last Saturday we went to an empty movie theater, perhaps only 5 percent full. We sat with no one else around for several rows. Then a couple sat right behind us, and the one behind me starts kicking the seat. After 10 minutes of this, I stood up and faced them, saying out loud so everyone could hear that either they were going to move, or have to stop kicking the seat or they were going to have to deal with me and what I would do to them. They muttered okay. I stared at them for a minute before sitting down and didn't hear a peep from them again. With all the seats available in the theater, why do idiots purposely sit behind others and not realize when they're disturbing someone?

In the old days, most people went out of their way to accomodate others, even graciously inviting others to go before them. That mode of life is disappearing, and more people are getting angry (including me).
