I believe, gnu, that there's no problem that can't be made quite a bit worse by obsessing and agonizing over it during every waking hour... ;-) Getting infuriated or outraged does wonders too. Pitbulls, for example....I know people who wait eagerly for the next person they can rave to in outrage about how awful pit bulls are, how they must be made completely illegal, and how something must be done about them! The media is God to such people.
Listening to such people go on and on about the terrorism practiced by pit bulls and pit bull owners is almost as much fun as rolling around naked in a cactus field or arguing with an angry cop... ;-)
