    Here is a very hard-hitting review about the on-going struggle between the "haves" and the "have-nots" in our society and what really motiviates our high-tech angry youths.

    Are the criminally minded young Americans and Britons "turning to violence in protest over inequality, poverty, and bleak opportunities" or are these people noothing more than spoiled children who have a sense of "entitlement" to other people's personal property?

    "We can argue whether those who loot a computer store are spoiled or oppressed. But even a person in faded jeans and a worn T-shirt can find all sorts of spiritual enrichment at no cost in either a museum or a good book. Have we forgotten that in our affluent postmodern society, being poor is often an impoverishment of the mind, and not necessarily the result of a cruel physical world?"
