Maybe less of a bitch and more of a musing--I wonder if the powerless rage that results in barely literate curse-filled rants and threats here might actually be channeled into societal good? Perhaps a reasonable face-to-face conversation, where possible, might get better results than anonymous car-keying and head-punching threats. Besides getting better results in individual situations, it would result in a more civil city and society. Instead, this column seems to feed people's rage. I understand that a face-to-face discussion (not confrontation) is not always possible, but we seem to be better as a society at provoking anger than defusing situations.

Since the LTWWB column became this live-post online thing, the quality seems to have degenerated remarkably--perhaps a sign that editing the bitches was a very good thing.
