Today I saw a tour-bus commandeered for use as a t-shirt delivery vehicle. A man with a microphone shouted the praises of the 76ers (seriously? Heard of the World Series?) and volunteers on top threw t-shirts overboard. Grown men and women - professionals, from their dress, pushed each other out of the way, jostling to get what ended up being a pretty disappointing shirt. This is what our culture has come to - a made grab to get whatever we can? I would hope not, but the mob mentality was out in force today, and it pains me to see that our efforts at civilization may not be as iron clad as we pretend they are.
