Once a million kids got together for continuous days of sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Police were not required. No crimes were reported. However some cities can no longer permit their residents such freedoms. Philly is just that kind of town where its regional residents cannot even drink at a football game, at a big picnic in the park, or on a downtown party night. Funny how other towns (ie New Orleans) never had problems.

I grew up in places where hundreds could come together for a night of much beer & rock, or bicycle (for charity) to every bar in the county (first bars opened by 8 AM). Ironically, just recently some Philly regional residents even made a mess of the bike ride resulting in a major police confrontation.

"Everyone is dumb until I point a gun at them." Ok, the drunk may not have the gun but he still has this Bruce Willis attitude. Its really something that did not exist 20 years ago. The drunk remembers his rights but conveniently forgets his responsibilities? That is really something new.
