Werewolves of London

This analysis by Max Hastings of the "root causes" of the London riots has been making the rounds, and well it should.

The question is, is this our future as well?

Offhand, one very important difference I can see between here and there is that unlike the victims of the violence, vandalism, and theft in London, people who had no choice but to meekly, pathetically actually, endure their victimhood, we are armed.

For now anyway.

Instead of buying gold, perhaps we should be stocking up on silver bullets.
