Oh, that's nice. Don't worry, I'm sure that some enterprising gangbangers are hiding and waiting for those gas trucks to get drained. The thieves will then be robbed, and sport third eyes. Such is the law of the jungle.

I'm afraid the anarchy we've all seen in New Orleans is going to be headed north real soon. I've talked to several people this afternoon who have tried to purchase gasoline. One ran out while in line and took a one-gallon can to the pump. She was turned away under the Jackson Mayor's new rules: no containers. The local tv stations report that many other residents who still don't have power were denied the ability to purchase 5 gallons of gas for their generators. The shelters here are begging for volunteers because many of those who have been helping can't get there because they don't have gas. If this situation is not alleviated very soon, I fear that we are going to see more and more violence here. People are hot, tired, hungry, and need to go to work in order to make a living. They can't do it if they can't get gas.
