I don't see anything particularly *wrong* with getting pissed at stupidity. Has the benefit that it can keep Ya busy all the live long day. But if it disturbs Your peace of mind, what point? Get pissed. Move on to the next whatever. *Staying* pissed? There's always the *next* thing to get pissed off at. And amongst all that, a small thing comes Your way.
And what do You really care if You get booed? (Not from me, hope Ya see.)
I dunno. Mebbe it's just me. At my age, I just don't have *time* to dwell on things that didn't go my Way. Most don't.
At the end of the day, before the loooong night, it's all gonna come out even-steven, AFAIK. You remember Mad magazine, Chris? I think the motto was "What? Me worry?" Something. If it wasn't, it should-a been. When I hit [Post] I hope You or someone reading this will enjoy it. Count on it? Back to reading, is all.
