Hearing people's opinions sure does trigger people today. And it's not even just politics, just any old expressed opinion.

Suddenly all the musical fellowship goes out the window, replaced by a kind of road rage, only without a road.

Why is that? How come the writer of that sweet little song about Mama's Peach Pie suddenly wants to shoot you in the piehole? It's unsettling to see it so often, with so many people, watching those people change gradually, get a little more weaponized every time.

I remember a time not long ago when controversial topics argued online didn't catch fire so quickly. There was plenty of drama and argument...but the escalation into that non-listening, condemning state of righteous wrath...man, that sure is popular these days.
