Ever wonder why the rageous folks always seem to have expensive or fast
cars.   Puzzle this...you just spent 40,000 clams put yourself in debt up to
your earlobes to impress other people with your savvy purchase.  It's rated
at 0-60 in 5.6seconds with a top speed of 140.  BUT

Your stuck in traffic behind a doofus in a white vanagon who obviously
doesn't get it.  .

The balding old fart is grinning while YOU'RE fuming.  You get madder and
madder and when you finally pass the stupid bastard in your expensive ride,
you flip him off, yell some obscenities and watch in your rearview mirror at
the doofus and his grin while you slam into a retaining barrier and the
doofus motors gently by with a nice wave and the grin...

Every time that wheel goes around, you're bound to cover just a little more
ground.  (apologies to Jerry).

Had you stopped and accosted the grinning idiot in the white vanagon, you
might have noticed he wasn't impressed with your rage and kept on grinnin'
When you opened the door to yank him out of the van ... fade to black.

You can't control what he has, you can only control what you have.

Get trained in personal protection.  Doji stick, chemical weapons, tazer,
deadly force whatever suits your level of comfort.

Flight is the first call.  Get away.  If the flight is blocked and the
threat is there, your training will provide your next response.  Train for
it.  It must be in the boot rom.  Under extreme stress you operate on
automatic.   Whatever the training dictates is what you will more than
likely do.

So prepare yourself for this sort of eventuality.  Escape and evade is the
very best first response.  Don't even acknowledge the assailant, just go
away and quickly.  If he's out of his car at your door, leave him without
even a glance.
