@Misku- So was Thomas Hobbes right about human nature? That man is like wolf to men? I just want to let you know, I grew up poor as well, I have my school friends who picked up garbage, collected bottles, cans after school to help with their families because they were that poor. What I was talking about was the people's way of thinking in response to an emergency. Remember not everyone stole "material things of flash and value". (Some stole just the necessity, what made them different?)

[paljetsun]

It is indeed an emergency, but human decency still prevailed in a lot of people. (People who stole to feed the hungry and clothe the naked I can understand, but people who just looted other than food and clothing and medication I can never understand)

@paljetsun You cannot understand the people who grew up poor and finally had the chance to "own" material things of flash and value? I can even if I'm not poor. These people, evidently, had a sense of right and wrong but were left to die by their own government. The men and women who died because George Bush and the National Guard and FEMA... just- simply failed.... I will never understand that injustice... EVER.
