Which means I can dance a jig that that &%$#&% light rail got smashed. As a Phoenician, every time I see that stupid train, it's like a pickpocket grinning at me while waving my own wallet in my face.
I don't disagree with you, But I think it's even more primal than that. As if there were a phenomenon you might call "ochlophrenia", where basically being in a large crowd of people directly inhibits one's ability think or act rationally, and the effect is cumulative over time.
I honestly believe there is a correlation between population density and political insanity. It just seems to me that the more people per square mile, the more batshit crazy they are.
