It was probably one of the best social experiments that have happened in recent times. Turn off the power for a massive percentage of the population and record what kind of chaos ensues. It's going to take a while, but I have the preliminary results right here.



People are stupid:

1) I was driving and laughed my ass of as I saw an annoyed driver sitting behind a streetcar waiting for it to move. News flash buddy, they don't move when the power is out.

2) The morning after when we are suppose to be conserving water, the neighbour is spraying down his driveway. When called out about his stupidity his retort is 'ah, I can use a little to spray. want me to spray you. ha ha'



Deprivation can build a community - probably one of the only times it is acceptable to talk to anybody without getting the hard cold Toronto stare. It was weird to feel such a sense of well being. Strangers were directing traffic, while other strangers were feeding them and the police water and food.



We're a bunch of commercial bastards - some idiots upped the price of water and jacked up the price of gas. They'll probably get it in the end.



And so many more things than I can analyze...
