aye there's the rub
other people may not measure me as a good person, but as a person they wish to behead.
I think this will generalise, such that: for every person, Bob, there probably exists another person who values Bob as good, and another person that wishes to chop Bob's head off.

of course, i do understand that.
but i still get in these moods a lot, when some ignorant simpleton breaks 48 rules of the standard social contract and then becomes loud and rude when gently told that s/he is being a problem. these are the people who i suspect are being beheaded, not the ones who are just mild pains in the ass.

i always carry a knife.
a few years ago i was stopped by the cops and they asked if i had any weapons. "just a knife," i said. they asked why and i told them i'd carried a jacknife every day since i was a little kid. i don't think they got it, but a swiss army knife is tough to kill people.
thankfully i'm a determined person.

same here, but mine's only got a blade length of a couple of inches.
I'm sure there's a length gag waiting to be done...

Nothing peaks people's hind-brain responses like being in a confined space on a dangerous machine with noisy smelly strangers.
On a purely biological level it can be understood as a survival instinct. But you'd have to be seriously negleted and isolated as a person to get as far as that guy.
