I have an increasing sense of being culturally "ghettoized."

I mostly can not turn on radio or TV without feeling assaulted.

I deliberately do not go out much...the manners of people, their aggressiveness, their lewd dress and body language, their vulgarity, the militant homosexuals, the militant anti-Americans, moronic young ones -- black and white -- with their trousers falling off and their obscene rap music, the world "bazar" that my quiet community has turned into, the spoiled brats of all stripes who now swagger down the sidewalks with the confidence that they own the joint...it was always with us but it now dominates most public spaces.

I know that I am part of a small minority. But even so, there must be a few million of us.

I would guess that eventually some among that number who are "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore" might "act out" in some rather dramatic ways.

Not all that small, FRiend.

I am certainly one of them! And know quite a few, some who smoke. Now they really are getting PO’d and I can’t blame them. The funniest thing I heard lately was one of the smokers saying, “little do they realize, this little cigg is the probably the only thing keeping me from choking the day light s out of the all of em!”

But I agree. A lot of us are just about ready to snap.

I’m with you, Sergei, my feelings exactly.
