I have news for you -- Civilization has ALWAYS rewarded the egotistical, the selfish, the assholes and the bullies. This is not a new thing. Haven't you worked in an office before? Don't you remember high school? Or middle school? Or elementary school? Or the womb (well, maybe this is going too far . . .)? I'd say it's human nature. In fact, I'd say it might be the nature of all things. Of COURSE selfish assholes get rewarded -- they have a singularity of purpose that becomes a natural boon to their success -- the constant thought -- "What do I want RIGHT NOW?" Screw the repercussions and screw YOU. I call your pontificating of this 'the Fratguy Lament.'
But, if you picked up a shotgun and went hog wild, YOU would be so much worse than THEM. Here's why: Because the pain they cause is (usually) an indirect effect of their selfishness, while the pain you would cause would be done for the sole purpose of causing others pain. It IS worse. I say try to rise above the bullshit, protect yourself from being taken advantage of, bask in your own humanity and, at the end of the day, have yourself a nice milkshake . . .
PS - I HATE it when people don't use their turn signal . . .
