You know how a tiger rips his prey to shreds to eat it? If you don't, just look around you a bit more. People are no different. 

Why don't you just go ahead and light that cigarette? Don't worry about all the passive smokers you've made out of everyone walking behind you. Never mind that persons with asthma can experience attacks brought on by passive smoking. Never mind that passive smoking is estimated to kill 53,000 nonsmokers per year, making it the 3rd leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. The preventable part is becoming more and more questionable.

Have you become so oblivious that you don't realise that everyone else on the bus or train has to stop everything that they're doing because they can't help but listen to your obnoxiously loud conversation on the phone?

Let's just say, I could go on for a millennium. In fact, there's a book that sums it all up; "Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door".

Back to our tiger. Does the tiger's prey have a right to defend itself? I say yes. So what's to stop me from defending myself with a fight that's as vicious as the tiger's, when I do get violated? The fact that YOU can do better. Come on people, I'm treading a very thin line and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
