Priorities

The continuing sunset of civilization:

PINEVILLE, NC - Dozens of police officers had to break up fights and restore order at a local mall while shoppers were waiting for an overnight sale of a popular basketball shoe.

All over a pair of shoes - made in China - worth maybe fifteen bucks.

Grown women slugging it out over a pair of shoes. One must wonder what is going through their heads when they start acting like starving animals fighting over a dead carcass.

Barbarian may be too kind a word - At least the barbarians of old had some pretty hard and fast rules of conduct necessary for survival.

Of course, they didn't have an advanced and superior civilization trying to keep the pieces together for them.

When the civilized of this world finally throw in the towel and just walk away, these fine, upstanding examples of humanity are going to be in for a really rough time.
