<<Chris,
I have seen many of these.  It was the male being protective of his female 
and showing her how much he cares of her safety.
Not consciously of course.  
The female likes to see her male strong in her defense.  This is instinct.  
Ancient, inherited traits.  The female's complains, words, incites the man 
within, eggs him on...
Most fights in a bar, dance hall, parties happen in an instant.  Bar owner 
will tell you that these fights are basically started with the female's 
"defense".  There is an urge to do it, to prove oneself.  "Looking for a 
fight" term is more understandable this way.  And there is the other one, 
when men are proving themselves to each other in a group of two and more, 
which on there own would never attempt.  Not mentioning the fact that most 
people are living under someone else's control and have none for themselves, 
creating a piled up frustration in them, and the only control they have in 
their daily life commandeering their car around town and country as they 
please...  Not to mention an unsuccessful life loaded with bills to pay.  And 
watch out for physically unattractive persons.  Their love life could be poor 
too if their communication skills are low.  
Road rage, throwing things, slamming doors, shouting, screaming, blowing up 
in a cluster of insulting words, is just one way of showing that 
frustration.  Provided that the perceived balance of power permits it.  He 
has to win.  He is in a trance of which he can come out in an instant when 
the balance of power is suddenly and substantially changed.  Hollywood gives 
us the material, the examples, the criminal education and if that's not 
enough he will become a graduate after spending time in prison.  
Have you ever used your mind to think about the fact that while there is a 
certain percentage of the population that is in prison or jail, while only a 
small percentage of criminals are apprehended, how many are than between us 
that are supposed to be in there and are working on their next assignment, 
even making a living out of it daily.  And I don't even mention now the white 
collar thieves who bleed you white.  All those man who were misled as a child 
until their mid twenties that their strength, good looks, their gift in that 
particular sport, their charm and wits will make a great living without the 
effort of the hardest thing in the world;doing a university or acquiring a 
professional education, find themselves on the outer edge of life knowing 
that they are as smart or smarter than the other guy he knows who is living 
great.  He is frustrated too.  
Overly dominant bosses, wives will make a man mad.  Every day, every minute, 
every place.  
Or have you thought about; how many man are divorced and living a life 
without their kids but pay a lot for them and being 
in a fix they can't get out of, financially, mentally.  If seventy percent is 
divorced there are a lot of unhappy man and complaining woman living a 
miserable life.  
And their children are the people of our world who had no love as we knew it, 
who are looking for something they don't know what it is.  They will divorce 
in an instant.  Especially the girls who will not tolerate a man who tells 
them what to do.  (they only doing it by instinct, the way it always was)
The battle of the two genders have created a very unhappy society and it is 
getting worse very fast.  Hollywood will speed up the process.  "You aint see 
nothing yet".
So a financially more civilized Vanagon owner will be looked upon as a 
failure by the SUV guy who pays $400 a month for his make believe space ship 
to use it for satisfying his boss to show up at work daily and his need to 
feel and look good for the outside world.  Low class have always tried to 
make even on the road in a good car.  But if you would follow him you would 
be surprised to see the area he lives.  And if you happen to get in his home 
you would see a war zone littered with junk, barely enough space to walk, 
dirt, dog poop and hair, cat vomit and poop under the table, no books or 
bookshelf, but one TV and a couch.  Shoes and shirt and pant around, piles of 
anything all over.  In one room there may even be a bike getting fixed the 
last three years.
And a fat lady will come out of some hole screaming, holding a new baby.  And 
it does not have to be a trailer park.  Than the frustrated man jumps up gets 
in his space ship and flies away to a make believe world where he is the boss 
and will give you shit it you get in the way with your funny looking Vanagon 
that he has seen somewhere already.  
These are the people we grow now here.  They are our product.  They are no 
accidents as divorces and Hollywood is not an accident...   
I hope you will not be so surprised next time you sit behind the wheel of 
your beloved Vanagon that will not be a spaceship ever and will always let 
you be in command and will serve you faithfully, changing no 
character, longer than any new wife after new wife.
That's all for today.  
The Vanagon does not make a good getaway car.
Zoltan>>
