How Bad?

People will be as bad as their conscience will allow them to be as soon as they can do so. Want proof? Look at disasters like earthquakes, floods, etc. The looting always takes place right away. Never do the people wait for a while to behave badly. They sense that the normal social barriers to such bad behavior are temporarily incapacitated. And so they go out and be as bad as they can be as soon as they can be. This is how moral failure always acts.
