When I read the phrase yesterday (or the day before?), my first thought was of historically significant atrocities. The Holocaust is an easy example. My second thought was of the various contemporary disasters. I suppose it's reasonable for one to think more about personal conflicts on a daily basis, but such a superlative as "nothing has ever angered me more" seems begging for a more terrible comparison.

Do those make you actively deeply angry? If so I don't know how you have the energy for that. My reaction is closer to sadness in addition to taking a very different shape. There's a big difference between how bad something is and how much it causes personal anger. And most people in the world haven't faced disasters like those. So I don't think it's begging for that comparison.

My wife asks me the same thing. > [M]ost people in the world haven't faced disasters like those. I think we are facing them. My daughter will live to see a dramatically different climate than my parents experienced.
