I sure would think twice. You have no idea who/what you are exposing yourself to at this point.
We are getting a bird eye view of what has become of the ethics/morals in this country.
And the terrorists are seeing just how ill prepared we are for a disaster of this magnitude. Multiply this by attacks on east coast and west coast at the same time.
Our own worst enemy may be our fellow citizens .
True, but New Orleans is not necessarily representative of most American cities, maybe of some large metropolitan areas, but not most cities.
I posted earlier, that I found a website that said NO was the 3rd most stressful city in America to live in because of violent crime...and this was before the hurricane.
Most of the criminals and predators will stay behind. You can't get on a bus with guns and loot. I would like to add that these predators PLANNED to stay in the CITY and LOOT IT THE ENTIRE TIME. This isn't SPONTANEOUS looting. They should be shot on sight.
I was thinking the same...and I don't like feeling like this. So much despair...
