The World Series at the end of autumn is one of the biggest events of the American calendar year. It’s the Great American Pastime. The race for the pennant this year was hotly contested, with the Cubs chasing an end to their 100 year drought of World Series glory, the Dodgers proving the Yankees’ folly in releasing Joe Torre, and Boston looking to secure their dynasty, but it all came down to the young, hot team in the Tampa Bay Rays versus the Phillies, who hadn’t won a championship since 1980. The 1980 series featured Phillies alumni like Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, and Pete Rose. Philadelphia had long been regarded as a joke of sorts, but nobody’s laughing anymore, because they reign triumphant after the suspension and resumption of Game 5. Some in Philadelphia are expecting a riot in the wake of victory. Surveillance and police presence has been increased dramatically in the city, with police ready to crack down on anyone who steps even marginally out of line. If you feel the urge – let it pass. If you feel the urge to riot because of a recent financial hardship – don’t start flipping over cop cars. If someone broke your windshield while rioting and you need funds fast, you can log on to our website and get personal loans with a few clicks of the mouse.

I’m all for personal responsibility, which includes showing respect for others and their property. But is the feel of a police state crackdown necessary? Wait, this is Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love. Of course it is necessary.
