We all like to think of ourselves as easy going, good natured people, but I've never known a guy who didn't have a rant inside him about something. It might be politics, it might be baseball players' salaries, it might be music or movies, it might be lousy drivers, or pollution, or it might even be religion. Some guys are very open about their rants, and will let you hear them after getting to know them for all of five minutes. Others aren't quite so open, and you'll never hear their rants until you've gotten to know them for a while, or they're drunk. But whatever the subject, I'm convinced that every guy out there has a rant inside him, just waiting to get out.
In my case, I don't make much effort to hide my rants. I'll freely rant about virtually anything and everything. I'm one of those guys who believes that it's best to get things off your chest, otherwise the pressure builds up for years, and then you finally blow your top like Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The reporters will end up interviewing your neighbours afterwards, and they'll say "he seemed like a very nice, quiet, well behaved young man. Mostly kept to himself ..."
Of course, you might vehemently disagree with me, and that's your right. You might even want to post some sort of rebuttal somewhere, or E-mail it to me. That's also your right. But don't expect to silence me; if my beloved Rebecca can't get me to stop ranting, then neither can you :)
