Sorry for hollerin at ya, don-o. That's what wine at dinner can do.
Seriously, the Blizzard of '78 shut down the city for 6 days. We had, what I thought at the time, was martial law. People died, houses washed out to sea, electricity and heat were out. There was no looting, everybody worked together and shared their limited resources. And we had zero warning. These people in New Orleans had days. The mayor himself sent his family out of NO before Saturday.
I am angry at the looters. I am especially angry at the people who endangered their children by not leaving. They are using up resources that should be used for truly needy victims of this tragedy.
Not a problem lady.
I am sure you all did well in Boston in a blizzard; but again, apples and oranges. It stopped snowing - the water is still running in.
Mass has a much better inrafastucture. and compared to New Orleans, your poor are middle class.
Again, I replied to a poster asking us to note the "ethicity" of the looters. I will not abide that. This bad behavior would break out in any community - anywhere, anytime, under such circumstances.
