Coping with adversity

How people cope with disappointment says a lot about them. In 2004, psychologists reported an influx of patients distraught that their candidate John Kerry, had lost. Some called it Post Election Stress and Trauma Syndrome.

Four years later, those who are disappointed in the results of the recent election seem to have reacted quite differently. According to several sources, they are flooding gun dealers.

With many people deciding to go ahead and purchase the gun they always wanted while they still can, this may be an interesting Christmas shopping season.
