"But in the absence of an economy or electricity, I'd see little value in a television, either. Nothing justifies the wholesale stealing of electronics, jewelry and valuables. It's an interesting study in human behavior, to be sure."
As long as this "interesting study" is NOT done in my house or neighborhood and preferably in YOUR neighborhood I will find this behavior barely acceptable. This is simply a natural human response on my part. ;)
You wish it on me? Whyever for? Was there something in my post that led you to believe I would wish it on anyone, or found the witnessed behavior acceptable?
