It’s Not Always Splitting Atoms That Moves the Doomsday Clock.

If those smarties at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists are monitoring events at Westfarms Mall in Farmington, Connecticut they should move the Doomsday clock ahead a minute. The tony shopping temple was the scene of an alleged assault on a waitress Sunday night when two patrons were arrested for beating the daylights out of a waitress who earlier in the evening had declined to divide a tab.  The two unhappy patrons, according to police, returned to the restaurant to retrieve a cellphone and transformed their grievance into crude action at PF Chang’s.

Whither civilization?
