The Anger Class

"Am I bugging you?"
"Don't mean to bug you"
"Ok edge, play the blues"

Why are the people who have so much so angered by those who have so little? What is it that they fear? That their flat screen television will be taken away from them or that they will have less time to spend on facebook and giving us live twitter updates from Costco? Where is this anger coming from? When I watch Glenn Beck, or listen to Rush I wonder why are people so angry? It it because we such an unbelievable easy life that people like to make-up problems and complain? Can you picture ancient Rome and the real housewife's of Rome complaining about the quality of the wine while people starve at the gates? Maybe......
The health care debate is a joke, if you can afford health care you are angry about change. But think deeper, why can you afford healthcare is most likely because you won the parent lottery and were born in a power position in this country. You were raised by two loving parents who gave you all the advantages in life and you have lead a life of ease. I won the parent lottery, do you have the guts to admit that you did as well? So, I pose my original question, why are the people who have everything so upset?
