A lot of what passes for the way emotional issues are treated is just 
profiteering.  It solves nothing and creates zombies.  That's a big so.



The point of my post was that there are many kinds of 
>anger. 


No, there are many expressions and intensities of anger.  Anger for purposes of 
responding to something should not be destructive.  You're advocating rage, 
revenge, an escalating cycle of violence.  Is that what you want, increasing 
violence?  Vaporizing people by the billions or at least many millions, is that 
what you want?

You just advocate killing.  That's your solution to the world's ills.

For Joerg, I wonder if you found a dog that was abused in puppyhood that made 
him vicious, you'd take great glee in sending him to limbo, maybe give him a 
kick in the process, rather than feeling sorry for the life he never had as 
well as the people he probably bit.  I agree, humans in action, hate, hate, 
hate, vaporize, jump with joy over executions and eternal damnation.  Whatever.
