Re: It does make it worse (none / 0)

It started, strangely enough, as a New Year's Eve game in Strasbourg (and it involved, at first, mostly stolen German cars), and it's become a lot more widespread in recent years. How much is linked to trafficking and how much is just casual violence is hard to tell. It's easy, it's spectacular, and it's happening a lot.

but you're right, it's not a sign of a fully healthy society.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

it's not a sign of a fully healthy society.

Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith

Re: It does make it worse (none / 0)

yeap, but it's not either the sign of impending doom and catastrophe that seems to be the new story du jour.
