road rage and martial arts

[Mullen, Shaun]

Funny about that martial arts stuff.  Those of us involved in these arts or
otherwise well aware of our "powers" tend to be a pretty nonconfrontational
bunch in my experience.  Nah, not going to let that butthead ruin my day.
I'll just walk -- or drive -- away from the situation.  What better way to
defuse it?

It's the people on the list who brag about driving around with loaded guns
who worry me.
