School Bus and Bullies

Clever piece about what one man learned by reflecting upon his years of riding a school bus. Link. Excerpt:

Most of the kids who were bullies as kids grow out of it one way or another.

It's often the wimpy smart kids, or sometimes the kids who never really knew failure so they can't understand why others aren't like them, who grow up to be bullies in the adult world. They end up writing the laws or promoting or enforcing them, attempting to tell everyone else how to live and what to do in the pursuit of regulating every aspect of our lives.
