I think there are a lot of jerks out there and a lot of nice people. The more people you know the bigger the population of jerks you run into. I think most people are nice on the outside. But, they are just being polite. I think we live in a very isolationist society and don't really know how to be nice to the person standing next to us othe than "be polite."
Look at Black Friday. I think that comes a lot closer to how a lot of people are....
