*    After one of these    *
*    incidents my friends    *
*    sometimes tell me I'm    *
*  brave. I'd like to believe  *
*   that, but I think you're   *
*    only brave when you're    *
*  scared to do something and  *
* you do it anyway. So I tell *
* them I'm not brave, because *
* I wasn't scared, I was just *
*  mad. Then I come off like  *
*   someone who thinks she's   *
*    some avenging angel of    *
*   justice. Crusader Rabbit.   *
*   Superman. Maybe I do think   *
*  of myself that way. Or maybe  *
*       there really are       *
*   rapists and batterers and   *
*     homophobic, ignorant     *
*    assholes out there and    *
*  maybe it's ok to want to  *
*    kill them, or least    *
*     shut them up?     *
