Maybe its just me, but it seems we are living in an ever increasingly hostile world and the media tends to feed this progression by reporting it. Our American founding fathers created a system that relied on self restraint of the individual, America is not a police state it is a free state and we all need to learn self control and politeness, otherwise the system could break down.
As an example, I was pulling out of my work parking lot the other day and another employee who I don't know was waiting to get in my spot. I gave him a friendly wave to demonstrate understanding that he was waiting, and he scowled and gave me the bird. Ha ha, really! I guess people are really stressed out or don't know how to handle normal daily stress. I could have confronted him the next day, but most likely the situation would have just escalated and I would have lost somehow. No, I just park a little further down now cause I know where he likes to park. I let it go. I call that being a man of peace, trust me I could go a different route. And, that is what this World needs, more Peace. Glad to hear you did not get hurt and the situation did not go worse, but it all could have been avoided if the truck driver just showed a little self control and that starts with a mindset of promoting peace, IMO.
