I have seen some wonderful human beings in some of those clips, people that I would love to sit down and get to know. Listening to some of the elderly women and their faith, the gentleman that was carrying out his neighbor's kids one at a time, these things give me hope.

Parts of our society have lost their moral compass. I suppose I should not blame them. They have been taught by our society that there is no right and wrong. They were taught to be selfish, to look out for number one. They are caught up in a way of life that strips that same character that gives me hope and leaves them diseased: less than human in a way.

It is not their race that is showing through, it is their lack of a soul. In my system of beliefs, I know that they have one, but they have stilled that small voice that tells them right from wrong and only look out for themself.

I must ask myself some questions. How can the same society, living in the same circumstances cause such different sorts of behavior? If we believe the more modernisitic view, they have the same environment, social status and circumstances. Why are they not all Clarence Thomases or looters?

The Left's way of thinking divides people by their class, by their circumstances. If they are right, then there can be no rising above the rest. They believe that these people must be given everything, that they cannot do for themselves. I believe that the Left are the ultimate racists.

A couple of hundred opportunistic rats are an emberassment to the thousands of folks rescuing their neighbors, and standing patiently in line waiting for some assistance. Of course the opportunistic rats do make a sensational news story so you really goto go with the rats at the top of the hour.

Clarence didn't listen to rap music.
