"When people are oppressed, neglected, and left to die, they often engage in spontaneous acts of rebellion, striking out against those who control wealth and power."
Yeah and when the suns out, the grass is to green, or a leaf blows by them on a fall day is a reason too.

ABC Stunned: Evacuees Don't Blame Bush - Rush Limbaugh
REYNOLDS: Did you harbor any anger toward the president because of the slow federal response?
LONDON: No. None whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in. They should have been on their jobs.
REYNOLDS: And they weren't?
LONDON: No. No, no, no. Lord, they wasn't. I mean, they had RTA busses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going underwater when they could have been evacuating people.
...
RUSH: Yes, he was. Finally desperate, ABC News Dean Reynolds goes back to evacuee No. 1 here. He said, "Mary, what is the one mistake that could have prevented -- that would have made your lives better? Is it simply getting all of you out much sooner? What was the one mistake?
MARY: I'm going to tell you the truth. I had the opportunity to get out, but I didn't believe it. So I stayed there til it was too late.
LONDON: And really, it wasn't Hurricane Katrina that really tore up the city. It was when they opened the floodgates.
REYNOLDS: Right.
LONDON: It was not the hurricane itself. It was the floodgates. When they opened the floodgates, that's where all the water came.
REYNOLDS: Do you blame anybody for this?
LONDON: Oh, yes. I mean they've been allocating federal funds to fix the levee system, and it never got done. I fault the mayor of our city personally. I really do.
