Let's jump right into the magical world's secrets with a debate on the biggest secret of all: the secret of magic itself.

HEY REMEMBER THE VANCOUVER RIOTS? I'm pretty sure when those fans went to watch a game, tipping cars over and breaking into stores was pretty much the last thing on their mind. They were just mad after the loss, too, and I can see that, but somehow, something sparked them to do more-- you just can't account for "but this is what rational people would do" because people CAN and HAVE behaved irrationally.

OH GOD, ABSOLUTELY. I have a friend who lives there and she found herself downtown--doing karaoke or something, not really watching the game--that night, which was very frightening. She is okay, but I think she got a little traumatized by the experience. This is part of the reason why I think people can do well alone or in small groups, but crowd mentality takes over in larger groups...and it's not good.
