A couple of things have become patently obvious:

No matter what the skin color, folks who have been on the lower rung of society have been pushed in to the role of representing all of the refugees and that's not accurate.

While a bunch of thugs are grabbing headlines and attention, regular people who are just trying to survive are being lumped in or taken advantage of the dominance of a few idiots with guns and nothing to lose.

The bad news for the thugs is that they will be remembered and they won't be there for the rebuilding. And the rebuilding, recovery, and rescue will resonate in the hearts of many people who just wanted to live.

Furthermore, anyone who turned their back on their family to swim a plasma-screen to the safety of a soon-to-be-flooded project won't be admired by anyone who struggles for a job when the water drops.

In all, this has exposed for anyone who cares to see that there's some that do, there's some that don't, there's some that can't, and there's some that won't.

The last bunch probably won't be supported nearly as much as before. Federal oversight for welfare, etc. notwithstanding.

I think most folks can distinguish tween looters and refugees

I sure can anyhow.

Where will they be? Houston? I bet they're thrilled about that.

The Cindy Sheehan Effect?
