Riot Cycles

In countries like Europe there are far more people in a concentrated area than the U.S. and in places like that it's easy to lose touch and go crazy when something goes wrong. If the economy ever flounders you have to be more afraid in a place like Europe of riots and upheaval. Sure, we've had a few riots but not many. And what was the cause? The economy! If you want to start a war all you have to do is raise the prices on everything so high that nobody can afford to do anything. The sad part is that the riots won't get things done any quicker, it ends up making things worse. And how do people survive during times of riots? Looting really, just jacking what food you can from the supermarket, and stealing your clothes, or music, or DVD's. It's the very worst you can imagine before things could end up being like a total warzone. And gangs get worse and stronger. The gangs end up being the rulers, the government. And in times like that war is commonplace. It's a vicious cycle that only gets worse and worse till it gets so bad that something makes things change, but sometimes the change doesn't come around for a very long time. I hope that things don't get this bad ever, the rising prices make me wonder sometimes though. Everyone can love civilization if we all have a chance. Without people making enough money people start to feel like there's no hope. And a man without hope has nothing left to lose, so they all rebel and lash out. I'd like to think things are getting better with time, but if we're not careful all the rich will eat their words when they realize how much they need everyone if riots started. Anarchy is never a choice when it happens, it's just something we shouldn't wish for. The only ones wishing for that are a bunch of gutterpunks that don't give a damn about money anyways.
