But it does seem as if the rules of decorum have broken down quite a bit. Funnily enough, I live and have always lived in large cities and rarely get heckled. In LA, it's more worrying about being hit as I walk a lot. I never cross when a luxury car is coming because they will plow you over, especially BMWs and most especially white ones.

I do agree about the self hatred just boiling over in this country. It's palpable. I really don't see this kind of rage when I travel.
