Its kind of ironic you decided to use the twilight zone music to say its silly, because the show always dealt with human nature and often had great insight. Even if it was shown in strange ways and was meant to be entertaining, you really could learn a lot from that show.
I remeber that classic one and it really is a classic, where it was about a normal small town community. All the electricity went out in the area and their cars wouldn't work or anything. Then one guys lights come on in his house and their all "Look he has lights he caused it!" then as the show went on a few other weird things happen and they all get really scared and start blaming each other and they all think the other person are terrorists. Though this is back 20-30 years ago so they might not have actually called them "terrorists" but its basicly the same principle. Then it ends with everyone attacking each other.
I looked up the ending of it and it went like this. "The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record: prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own, for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is... that these things cannot be confined... to The Twilight Zone."
