MINDS IN FERMENT

Minds in Ferment

The heat has made the town daffy.

A mere sighting of a common starling nearly results in a riot.  Like rubber neckers seeking the blood in an accident scene -- the town needs some distraction from the sweltering temperature. And at this point anything will do. Madcap mayhem follows. Laurel and Hardy meets Occupy Wall Street.

If the conditions are ripe a mob mentality can easily develop and the consequences are beyond the control of most officials.

Bureaucracies being bureaucracies they will always try to spin it to their advantage.

Isn't it just better to lower the heat when you can?
