but I wouldn't say things were always "civilized" before the invention of electricity; there is a reason that last night in the dark people started looting stores and stuff, i'm sure we still haven't heard the worst of what actually happened. the worst I heard was about a big sneaker store here in brooklyn being looted by gangs.
yes, sneakers. *sigh*
there is a liquor store by my house with no gates - the owner just sat in the store all night with a flashlight. heh. although *some* of us have our bodies and our wits, it is still hard to live in our current society without lights, refrigeration, alarm systems, etc. that's the sad truth.
