Oh yes, besides food and water, of course medicinal supplies.

Look, by your collective posts, you think looting's fine. They're not taking food and water, they are hauling out the innards of entire stores.....it's not all food and water, blankets and medicine...it's looting.

No, he doesn't. He's drawing a pretty clear distinction, and you're missing it. It's not worth arguing about.

Then you understand what I am saying.

What gives you that idea? I said emergency needed supplies could be obtained without moral problem. I said nothing at all about looting for fun and profit.

They're not taking food and water, they are hauling out the innards of entire stores.....it's not all food and water, blankets and medicine...it's looting.

Duh. Some people can't follow a detailed argument, I guess. Yes, people are commiting heinous criminal acts in looting goods that are not a matter of survival.

I think everyone condemns that.

But rational people will see that there are legitimate arguments to be made for "stealing" items for genuine legitimate survival.

Can you see how a person can support the one without supporting the other?

on a positive note... this will give the city of New Orleans the ability to start fresh and bulldoze all the poor areas.
