It was a good legal education program on dealing with difficult clients, put on by the bar association. I might even have learned a few hints for dealing with certain people here! They went through the etiology of anger and how to address anger resonses both in oneself and in one's clients. What's interesting to what we have been discussing here was the assumption made that by recognizing the etiology of anger we can interrupt the cycle and manage our responses to anger, so that while the physical responses the brain produces in response to an anger-creating event cannot be controlled, we can make a consious decision whether to respond to the stimuli with anger or in more productive ways. it was only a 2 hour program, so we didn't get into that a lot, but I found it remarkably relevant to our recent discussion. As to your dissatisfaction with my "piffle," I'm not going to go back to the 1970s for an analysis of the state of civil liberties in the USSR, but my reading of the books of some of the dissidents that I did at the time suggested to me that while civil liberties were limited, they did exist. But if you want to not accept that, it's no never mind to me -- it's not a particularly important point in the context of the discussion.
