Why shouldn't the poor in New Orleans loot when they have all these examples to follow.

[[The big problem is the looting that does not provoke outrage from the chattering and the moralizing classes.]]


Eight years of the Clintons taught the country that they should NOT be judgemental.

Hey, look at the state of New Jersey. If politicians aren't facing indictment, they're serving time and folks keep voting them in office. Apparently people like "looters".

So, according to Chantrill, shopping is almost the same as looting.

Brilliant.

How about working to build a world with a little less looting?

Horrible suggestion. How about working to build a world with NO looting? Be a producer, not a looter.

Though, I'm sure, I've come a little late to the party I am currently reading Atlas Shrugged. It absolutely amazes me just how forward thinking Ayn Rand really was.

I just finished reading it about two weeks ago. It is an incredible book.

now retired workers who secured their pensions out of the future revenue of the company rather than from their own savings.

This is a little over the top. If an individual seeks and gains employment with a company that offers a pension plan, that individual should get that pension when he/she retires. If you don't think a pension plan is fair, then don't work for a company that offers one.

state and local government workers earn 40 percent more than workers in the private sector

Bigger looting than oil for food.
