Falling Down.

Time to go get a WhammyBurger.



Or maybe some sleep. Novel thought.

2. Don't go there
You're a better human than that. We all get discouraged at times, but violence is NOT the answer.

4. No violence planned or even vaguely anticipated, but sometimes
it all just gets a bit much and some idiot golfer wearing a stupid hat tries to knock your head off with his golf ball and some neoNazi surplus store owner breaks your snow globe and someone does construction on a road that isn't broken and...well...that sort of thing.

He was just trying to find his way home after a bad day, or days, and the main distinction I'm seeing is that at least he knew where his home was. Knowing that there are millions of people worse off doesn't much help someone who's lost his or her way, even if they know it's going to pass and the detour's a temporary one.

12. Great movie

I kinda identified with that guy as well. He did all the things we've all "thought about" doing at times.
