Are You An Ostrich Or Angry?

In the 1974 multiple Oscar winning movie “Network,” the character Howard Beale, a network news anchor played by Peter Finch loses his mind on live TV after learning that he will be fired. He states that he is “madder than hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” He exhorts his TV audience to think about the awful, unfair things they are tolerating in their lives and “go to your window, open it, and shout it over and over” until pretty soon, seemingly everyone in Manhattan is standing at their open windows shouting it out at the top of their voices!
