American Anger

It almost seems as if the U.S.A. is becoming a more aggressive, angry country. It could be argued that it has always been that way, but, whether or not it was in the past, America seems aggressive and angry right now. I offer five pieces of evidence.

1. Football has exploded in popularity, the most aggressive and violent sport surpassing all others.

2. WE evidently have a national epidemic of bullying in schools, far beyond anything previous.

3. Most Amerian drivers are insanely aggressive. If you go the speed limit anywhere, somebody is one 
    foot behind  your rear bumper. Always. Everywhere.

4. The U.S.A. is currently engaged in at least two wars, and has been for years, with more 
    posssible  wars looming all the time. We (the United States) seem angry at much of the world, 
    and much of the world seems angry at us (America)

 5.   People are in the streets protesting all over America.

      Maybe all this proves nothing. But doesn't it all seem to kind of add up to an angry aggressive  
      culture?
