How many of us have seen some driver weave in and out of highway traffic to gain a few car lengths, causing others to swerve or jam on brakes and muttered “I hope he gets into an accident.” Then good conscience steps in and we quickly add that we don’t mean for anyone to get hurt. We just want this guy to pay for his reckless driving behavior. Hell, we’d be happy if only we could phone a cop on the spot to catch the guy. It’s human nature to want people to be taught a lesson.

Some weeks ago the editor of Durham Herald-Sun, Bob Ashley said he spent a few days responding to a number of phone calls and e-mails objecting to a cartoon that the readers thought was distasteful. When he explained that the cartoon’s intended target was not what the reader thought it was most readers then understood and were mollified.
