I hate everyone

So I'm out riding my bike the other day. I'm on a lightly travelled country road in the middle of nowhere. I'm riding close to the right shoulder
along a long straight stretch of road. The sun is shining - the birds chirping. All is good.

I hear a car approach behind me. The sound of tires on asphalt growing louder and louder as it gets close. Suddenly a loud sharp HONK screams through the quiet tranquility and a white minivan races by less than twelve inches from my shoulder.

Here's the question I would like to pose to the driver of that white minivan: Was the joy of laying on your horn and nearly startling me into your path worth the risk of killing me? Seriously - as much as you may find people who ride bicycles and enjoy nature to be unpalatable to your white minivan driving self - was the satisfaction of your act so great that you were willing to kill me in order to obtain it? Was honking your horn and blazing by me so much fun that you were willing to risk a vehicular manslaughter charge and day after day of ass pounding in a state prison? Are you that fucking stupid?

If this had been a kid - some punk teenager and some friends out causing trouble - I would get it. I was that kid. That kid doesn't know shit about life and consequences and how to properly deal with their frustrations. But this was an adult driving a minivan - someone who ostensibly should know better - and that was how they chose to vent their displeasure at people who ride bikes; with a reckless and dangerous act.

No wonder Everyone Loves Raymond was on the air for so many years, Toby Keith has hit record after hit record, there's a KFC on every corner (next door to a church), gay people can't get married, the polar ice caps are melting, and our President can wage wars and disregard the Constitution with barely a whisper of discontent...

This country is full of idiots.

Most people are poor, fat, and stupid.

I hate everyone.
