Seriously though, I've not encountered anyone that angry about everything anywhere. At work, at the store, at the gym, in my neighborhood, on the beach, in the mountains, or anywhere else in my normal everyday life.
IMO, the "problem" with anger is that it interferes with an individual's ability to effectively deal with whatever is the source of their anger. It's an obstacle that needs to be overcome.

It'd be interesting to know the rationale of the shooter. No doubt in his mind his actions were entirely justified.

Matt Gaetz shows nude photos of his sexual conquests to congressional colleagues and we hear crickets from them and Fox News. In fact, Fox News never mentioned Matt Gaetz the entire day yesterday. No wonder there is no outcry from the righties.   
Jim, I think Franken was forced to resign by his party, which in my opinion was ridiculous. I immensely disliked Franken's political ideas, but I thought he was a very good comedian. I'm under the impression that there was a question about some unfairness regarding his being elected to his seat, but I don't recall all the details.

Brian, I don't know much about the man and he may be being railroaded, but he does have that "look".

Rod, many years ago, I recall some fellow claiming that he'd seen the Horsehead through a 60mm refractor. Not sure whether he was using an H-Beta or not.shocked

No, Jim, we were fortunate here in the central part of the state. It really didn't affect us at all. The one that occurred on August 27th, 2020, was an anomaly for this area and hopefully, a once-in-a-lifetime event. The people in the SE part of the state really seem to be having it rough.

Since this is a Political Forum, I'll say that I guess some will attribute the severity of the hurricane to man-made "climate change".wink
