Re: hurricane report

John,
You are justifying stealing because it is hot! Leave some money on the
counter, do something. Don't break into a store because you can. There are
OTHER resources. They are looting because they want to. PERIOD. It is
stealing. If it was a dire need,at that time, I might agree with you. It
wasn't at the point they started looting. And if you watch Fox and the
other channels, MOST of the looting was not for FOOD and water. THIEVES...I
have no use for....
