What are your thoughts about the need for and imposistion of martial law?

Whatever they are, they are irrelevant to this discussion. Check post #14 for a further explanation.

Not really, the emergency measures to avoid price gouging, is to my mind, is a form of martial law...something which would be untenable as a regular form of government but is required for the basic protection of the general citizenry, particularly after a natural disaster.

I actually posted two articles, one of them dealt with the pork that our government representatives are preparing to inflict on us in the name of "helping" the victims of the storm. I posted the two together because if the local government is passing laws to protect us from folks who intend to profit from human misery, the federal government is planning to do just that. Do you see no irony there?
