We are becoming a third-world country.

At an alarming pace.

We aer becoming a third-world country.

At least in some parts.

I am always amazed at the "Lord Of The Flys" behaviour after athletic contests.

I don't know if I EVER saw such a thing while I was growing up in Oklahoma.
There might have been cross words and verbal threats after an OU-OSU, OU-Nebraska,
OSU-Nebraka football game...but starting fires, breaking windows and mayhem...
never.

I'll never forget seeing footage of the riot in the Westwood area on one of the
FOX Police Vidoes show. UCLA wins a basketball championship...hey, let's riot!

I guess I'm just a small-town naive virgin on this topic...I just don't get it.

But as I said, it must be the cultures in some parts of the country.
My understanding is that reporterette Connie Chung got "disinvited" and taken off the
job when she came to Oklahoma City following the Federal Building bombing...
and her big comment after viewing the devastation was "Why aren't these people rioting?".

And the ones responsible are the extremist left wing professors who can't teach $30,000 a year students how to behave.

I agree, the first indication of said is a failure to spel gud. Mea culpa, mea culpa , I couldn't help myself.
