People that feel weak are the ones that attack.

2. Never underestimate the power of alcohol.

Even among seemingly rational persons. I suspect that if a device fitted to a computer could warn the public that what they are viewing as argument is in fact the expressly intoxicated ramblings of a less than healthy mind set, we would find those conflicted souls to be just who they are and nothing more.

Sorry, if this is off topic. It did seem to me to be restating what while obvious is often ignored when dealing with antagonistic persons. I've seen the argument go from jest and banter to open hostility in the course of five minutes with some persons.

While they may have had a justifiable point to make, the sheer vitriol coupled to conjured up misstatements of fact reminds me of the arguments over who hit who back first as if that was the cause of the argument in the first place.

Adding inebriates increases the amplification while removing the rationality they had proposed to be a message of importance for all to hear. Be it the death of a salesman or the birth of the first born, it doesn't matter when the insults fly in fury. Raw nerves and alcohol never mix well.

Unfortunately, some prefer the path of disquiet their anger offers them. As opposed to accepting that their fears often come from the foundation of that anger which they embrace. To become whole, to become healthy, to repair the damage doesn't happens by itself.

Anger will not go away on its own accord. Alcohol will see to that.

This isn't directed at you Bonobo. I making sure we are clear on that.

If some one reads this and becomes angry, I would hope you would talk to some one you trust and ask them if they think there may be a problem.

I'll get off my soap box. Thanks for listening.
