This is all starting to remind me of that old Twilight Zone episode where the government wants to find out how quickly the people in a small town will turn on each other, and they run an experiment on Maple Street. They cut the power to all the houses except one, with no explanation why that one house was spared, and then they just sit back and time how long it takes the rest of the people on that street to decide that one family must be pinko commie supporters and start throwing bricks through their windows. "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," I think it was called. It might have been Soviet spies running the tests, it's been a long time since I saw it. Anyway, the point of the episode was that it didn't take very much or very long for them all to tear each other apart.
If this is going to be a Sadie Hawkins dance, I guess that means I'd better act fast before someone steals away my first choice. Brandon Kobel, will you go to the dance with me?
