"I'M MAD as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" So cries news anchorman Howard Beale in the 1976 film Network, during an impassioned on-air rant about the parlous state of the world that closes with Beale successfully exhorting viewers to get up and shout his newly coined slogan out of their windows.
Most of us have probably felt like that at one time or another. But we usually suppress the impulse because we expect outbursts to put others off, rather than rally them to our cause.
