Anger Management

Sometimes, anger makes us say things we don’t really mean.  Other times, it brings to the surface exactly what we really hold dear.  As such, anger is a thing to be avoided, as it is either hurtful or more revealing than we might wish.

Case in point, the previous article about 4 Modern Arguments that Suck.  That piece was written quite some time ago, but rings ever more true when you find letters like this one to Salon.com:

Evil?  (we’ll accept ‘racist.’)
Greedy?  It’s in there.
Stupid?  Bingo
Sheep?  Can’t find it.

Score this a 3/4 on the Sucky Argument scale.  It does not persuade, it does not enlighten or illuminate.
