Shame, shame, shame

The whole exercise is such a Beavis and Butthead thing to do. It never ceases to amaze me that, when offered an opportunity to celebrate in a positive manner, groups of people will choose to smash, burn and destroy things instead. If it were some kind of demonstration against a particular company for some kind of social violations, it least smashing a computer made by that company would have some kind of symbolic purpose (albeit still a negative one). But to just smash something for the hell of it. I think there's a song about smashing a "perfectly good guitar." Myself, I prefer dancing and singing to celebrate things. What happened to dressing up in costumes and building floats and giving away free stuff like candy or food? Ah well... Anthony Clifton - Wirehead
