For the The Body's World AIDS Day site, Visual AIDS provides a slideshow from United in Anger. We share the following thoughts:

Yet with all this fuel for the fire, we live in a culture where we often try to suppress each other's anger by telling everyone to calm down all the time. So what are we supposed to do with all of our anger?
