    I read an article by a Swiss scientist who claimed man was "devolving". He stated the Earth was responding to mankind as a parasite and slowly dumbing everybody down. He had facts, statistics and examples that showed a trend in humans where our mannerisms, speech, body movements and thought processes were devolving.

    I dismissed it as so much haberdash, I wonder?

    We had an orderly BF at our local WalMart, there was a very strong Police presence whom I saw working in tandem with the WalMart securtiy personel. Sad but true and I was glad they were on the job.

    RT1, it's true we are devolving, esp when it comes to manners. what ever happen to manners? Where in the last 30 or 40 yrs did we stop using common courtesy towards on and other?

    does is somehow kill people to say please, thanks or excuse me? I mean seriously, why shove someone out of the way for a BF deal?

    I heard today that the police will be reviewing all the video footage and arresting anyone and everyone involved. Let's hope all those who contributed to this mans death, gets death.

    That would be interesting. With a crowd like that, the people in the front would be pushed by those behind them. There would be no way they could stop, unless they wanted to be trampled to death themselves.

    The people in the back, would not be able to see the front of the crowd, and would have no idea anyone was being injured. How could they possibly blame any individual?

    If these retailers would actually have more than 3 or 4 of any of these great deals, this could all be avoided.
