Everyone's Enttiled to Their Opinion

Not surprisingly, I have a google news alert for "outrage" - so naturally a headline about "outrage overload" is going to catch my attention. But as I'm reading it - I don't buy much of the premise - it dawned on me that I should know something about the writer. Turns out it's a "contributor" that has a company that's well - selling something. 

And don't get me wrong - constant outrage gets you nowhere. But recognizing and embracing anger in a constructive way is an essential emotion and a catalyst for change that is sorely missing in the world today. Spewing outrage without facts or reality isn't productive. But denying anger's positive impact is short-sighted - and dangerous given the rants of our Narcissist in Chief.
