[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6423992, member: 8835"] bear in mind a Lawful society isn't going to be comfortable completely letting loose where truly anything goes. Think of it this way, while you are sober, are you really going to go to a party where there's Mandatory Russian Roulette that everybody MUST play. No. That'd be stupid. You'd be better off going to the neighbor's more tame party where at worst, somebody's going to get drunk. This is the design flaw in The Purge movie idea. A rational society is unlikely to vote to have an annual party where the criminal deviants get to run amok and kill everybody. The chances that any vote gets targeted aren't worth it (and that'd be true in a non-democratic society as well, as the have-nots target the people in charge). Controlled Chaos is what a town would be looking for. They want to experience the zaniness, without the negative side-effects. [/QUOTE]
