Yes, ..."we're bullied all the time."<br /><br />Yes, we are. I can't count the number of times when I have confronted someone parked illegally and all of a sudden now <i>I'm</i> the bad guy and they're the victim. <br /><br />And once, when I was crossing a 6-lane street downtown, I had someone swerve across several lanes to pass within arm's length of me, at top speed, just--presumably--for fun.Virginia S.

What people don't realize is this is how about half of people would react to us in such a situation, that we're bullied all the time.FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-53946761198363836272009-08-07T09:52:03.809-04:002009-08-07T09:52:03.809-04:00What a jerk.
