Besides withdrawal and rage, there are plenty of ways of handling it. You can be a Total Badass(tm) in your work. You can offer clear, consistent, moral, protective leadership. You can be a crusader against all that is extraneous or deceptive, a warrior for clarity and simplicity. Or something. Unfortunately your role as a defender of others probably won't be fulfilling unless you join the armed forces or a gang. Because you probably live in a an ugly car-choked suburban dystopia with douchebags all around, meaning you have no place to care about and no one worth defending. Not that they were in any danger anyway, in their SUV tank on the way to the mall. But that's why people join the armed forces or gangs. They're the only things left. I don't have time right now to treat this topic properly. And I kind of think more talking-about-it might not be the answer anyway. EDIT: Or the police force, put that in there too.
