Oh, okay....so, the JEWLERY being stolen...that's not really looting....and the carts of t.v., jeans...that's not looting either.

Fine.

I watch my t.v. with my eyes wide open.

Nic, nobody -- not even Dave -- is saying that looting is not going on. Of course there is looting, and it's a bad thing.

But there are also cases where it's a choice between taking something, and dying. Is that "looting" in the same sense as the jackals taking jewelry? Of course not.

You'd take some things, too, if your alternative was to have, say, your diabetic kid die because he didn't have insulin. Dave is simply pointing out that there's a distinction that can be made about these sorts of things.

Can you drop it now?
