Which is a bigger sign of cultural decay?
- Police officers with nothing better to do than file a 13 page report and make the state's attorney investigate a couple of college kids being rude, or
- Thieves breaking into a Salvation Army safe to steal $250.
It's a tough call, but I have to say it's the first case. Petty theft is ancient as property, but it takes a special kind of modern victimological psychology as well as a much too large bureacracy with not enough to for the police and county government to get dragged into an online flame war.
