"Even in America, civil order is more fragile than we think."

I saw hours of Asian Tsunami video from various 3rd world countries where what is called poverty in America would be seen as paradise. I saw no looting, no rape, no murders, no rioting, no shooting at emergengy personnel or any of the depraved responses to the disaster that too many in New Orlean are showing the world.

From Thailand to Indonesia to Sri Lanka, every video showed the impoveraged third worlders survivors of their disaster immediatedly rising to the assistance of their neigbors and total strangers.

Yes, many in N.O. have tried to help but why am I seeing so many more able bodied survivors either further victimizing each other or doing nothing to help? Surely others have noticed this same difference!

What has gone wrong with so many Americans?

I agree with you .The US urban centers have become centers of street mentality , crime and all for me behaviour. I teach in an urban dostrict . Even the "nice" kids all have the mentality thats it's OK to steal if you dont get caugh and see nothing at all wrong with that . SAD

.......

Drug addiction on a massive scale. America never saw it in it's collosal raw stage now ocurring in the disaster areas because the drug addicted only came out in the darkness of night. Now they've been all flushed out of the dark like cock roaches or a floating ball of fire ants desperately seeking any way to secure their next drug fix. There are no noble young men because there is nothing noble about drug addiction.
