it is true politics can make enemies of friends.

you know, the guy who waved a gun at me, what are the chances he would have actually shot me in front of my wife and kids? I didn't stay to find out, but it may have been low. I guess one deterant for him would have been if I would have stopped, put the car in neutral, and revved the engine as he approached. It may have given him a moment of thinking to realize hey, this is stupid, I should go about my way.
