Its like you go for a drive and you make one little mistake and the person next to you flips you off or honks at you. Its almost like those that we dont know are automatically our enemies. Why can't people just...be nice to each other?

Don't forget those stupid Tim Curry fans, god I hate them, and their stupid drag too! Nah, just messing Tim Curry was hot in drag and I love Rocky Horror.
Back to the subject. I think in many cases it's just natural instinct. We forget humans are not perfect and make mistakes so quick second thoughts lead to a person being stupider then dirt. Honestly if you thought on it how many times have you gotten mad over stupid little things? Like fast food messed up your order? Cashier was being slow with money or messed something up? Waiter brought you the wrong thing? Something stupid at work or school? Cause I'm guilty! I bet most people would be.

A lot of people hate what they don't know because they lack experience and understanding of it, and therefore, fear it. That's where racism comes from, I think. One might hate a different race, for example because people of that race appear outwardly different from oneself. If you haven't had enough interaction with people of other backgrounds to realize the inherent similarities among all members of the human family, it becomes easy to suspect, fear, and hate a group different from your own.
In the example that you give, I think that the reason may be slightly different. If traffic is bad, that can cause stress, which can cause frustrated drivers to freak out at the tiniest mistakes made by others. This can be especially bad in big cities, where people are stressed by work and commuting to begin with. The bad traffic only makes things worse. I think that being in a car also puts a barrier between drivers that allows people to behave more rudely than they would normally. Many people aren't reluctant to flip you off if you make a mistake on the road, but I bet you that most of these people wouldn't do the same thing if you accidentally bumped into one of them on the street.

wherever they are at in their lives is causing their anxiety
usually
people are getting meaner with the ages
tremendous changes have taken place in human lives over the last 100 years
but no body gets nicer
adam an eve and cain and able were pretty limited
they only had each other
and cain killed able
no cell phones
no road rage
just sibling rivalry
my dear...
the devil is very busy
but blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall inherit the land

When someone did something bad to you, you don't like it, and they don't admit that they are wrong. People have different view from where they stand and some have no one to teach them what's right or wrong.
It's just how life is... that's sad.

Because they were 'carefully' taught to FEAR what they do not know -- whether it is a person with a disability or a person of a different ethnicity than what they are.
