I know the Moveon.org paid victim feels that way.

I said most people are lousy. I didn't go into detail about how many of those lousy people would be violent but common sense would tell you it wouldn't be all of them.
So because most people are lousy it's ok to be as well? That's novel.
How about just having some basic awareness that putting on a wig, making a sign with glitter and markers, traveling to another state and trying to harass a politician for selfish reasons could lead to a situation that might get completely out of hand.
Where was her decency?

Strange that I don't really ever experience this as a matter of course in my day to day life considering how sure you are that it's just how the world works dictated by the human condition and having just given up on bothering to be any better than it.

Maybe the people you talk down to in real life are intimidated by your greatness after viewing your myspace music page.
