Yes, Jorj I have seen so many undernourished and poorly dressed rioters. It is just amazing they still have the energy to patriotically loot and burn.

I'm having a hard time figuring out which of those two would be potential tea party members if that disease ever spread to the U.K.....The U.S. media(& kenny) have me so confused. I had a conversation with a store clerk yesterday that confessed total ignorance over our own domestic hoodlum problems.....he went own to brag about being fond of CNN, MSNBC and the like.....my retort was "Well, there you go".....that ended the pow wow promptly.

Jorj, CNBC is currently having a great show on China and it's impacting the US. How does this relate to those who believe in Capitalism but also believe in motivating and taking care of those who are less affluent than those on this site? The program is a good topic for discussion. Hopefully, CNBC will have a reshowing of the show in the future.

Jorj, did you see this poor underresourced brit taking out his aggressions on the oppressive capitalists? It's a pity that he has been driven to such actions. Many of us remember from our marketing, management and psychology Maslow Hierarchy of Needs. The first level was the satisfaction of the physical need of food, shelter and clothing. Old Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs has been studied and studied and shown to validated and be reliable in much research. When these physical and emotional needs are not met individuals many times react with unacceptable behavior manner. Depending on the threat to the individuals self-interest I have seen first hand individuals turn into the mobs in the form of riots and overrun the social systems. This does not justify the act but just reflects how individuals respond (fighting or fleeing) to threats. Our society is based on a "law abiding" system. When the over riding system breaks down the emotions and psychology of the group take over - mob rule. The hardest aspect of community organizers is to keep emotions of the protest under control.
