I guess the one thing that makes me crazy a collection of behaviors traced to the breakdown of manners and common sense. The largest being a lack of the standard courtesy for others, while endorsing ones own agenda. I was raised amongst 3 brothers and 3 sisters, and we quickly learned that infighting only led to goals missed, but working together to forward our group achieved results. Hmmm, so why is it that people literally push others out of their way to move one space forward in a line that stretches for a block?? If I'm merging onto the highway, does it make sense for you to speed up and rear end the car in front of you so that I can't get into the space? (c'mon you KNEW i would use a driving analogy sooner or later) People just need to know that it won't mean a thing in a hundred years (thanks John Popper). When I was growning up, my parents knew and socialized with our neighbors regularly, helped them when needed, and accepted their help graciously. I lived in a duplex for 6 years, and had to write down what the guys name was so I could remember it when I wanted to say "HI". We need to create communities around people again, starting with recognizing how important everyone is to the mix
