I like the "Ask Marilyn" column in the Parade Magazine insert in the local weekend paper. I say "weekend" because our newspaper is only delivered on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; a money-saving move by the publishers, they say. At any rate, here's one of my favorite recent write-ups:
Gil Loeser of Madison, Alabama, writes:
Marilyn: What causes some people to speed up when you try to pass them? Sometimes they will even do it on a two-lane road.
Marilyn responds:
I think this is a sign of a problem personality. Some people feel so bad about their accomplishments that they will seize any little opportunity to thwart another person's intentions.

I know that I'm trying to be more merciful and gracious while I'm driving. This one kind of vindicates me, though. Do you see it from a different point of view?
