More "Good News"

here is a little blurb from "Some Assembly Required" (please follow link to original) ---- "Old Question: How law abiding will you be on the third day you cannot find food for your family? How long before you become Jean Valjean? How many lampposts are there in lower Manhattan?"

It was taken from this little piece of joyful news:



"Britain: Rising Food Prices Could Spark Riots
March 9th, 2011

Via: Herald Sun:

A SENIOR economist at the worldwide bank HSBC has warned of civil unrest in Britain if food prices continue to soar, Sky News reported yesterday.

Karen Ward cautioned that the UK was not immune to the kind of “food riots” seen in other countries around the world.

“Even in the developed world I think we have very, very low wage growth, so people aren’t getting more in their pay packet to compensate them for food and energy, and I think we could see social unrest certainly in parts of the developed world and the UK as well,” she told Sky News."

There. Don't you feel better already?
