We've all felt anger. It can come when things don't turn out the way we want. It might be a reaction to something which is said of us or to us. We may experience it when people don't behave the way we want them to behave. Perhaps it comes when we have to wait for something longer than we expected.

The deadly weapon against totalitarian society is openness - doing everything very openly on the Internet, letting people know every detail, any little development.
