Do you display selective outrage?

      Of course I do, and so does everyone else.  Anger is always a choice, meaning that in any given situation, we choose either to become angry or not to become angry.  That's why the oft-used, "he/she/they/you/it made me angry" is a falsehood. He/she/they/you/it may have provided the stimulus, sure, but the actual response to the stimulus is decided upon by the recipient, not by the actor.  Accordingly, certain situations are almost automatically ensured to cause us to emote anger, but by the same token, look to the myriad of situations wherein you think or ask, "Why are you so angry about it, it's really not that big of a deal. Chill, Phil."
