Interesting. I find it endlessly fascinating to see people sitting in air conditioned comfort thousands of miles away from the situation congratulating themselves online for what they wouldn’t have done if they had been in New Orleans, what with their basic moral human superiority and all. And I have to agree-most probably wouldn’t have looted a thing. Why not? Because MOST PEOPLE DON’T LOOT, MURDER, RAPE OR HAVE A ‘JUNGLE MENTALITY’. But sadly, some do. That is why they have jails all over the world, because some human beings cannot live with the general population in peace. Not everyone in New Orleans looted, raped, murdered-but some did. It wasn’t all of the thousands sitting on rooftops-but it was some. It wasn’t all of the thousands in the Dome, or at the Convention Center-but it was some. It’s part of the human condition. It’s not right, it shouldn’t be-but it is. And to act outraged and surprised that out of thousands upon thousands of human beings, some are thugs, murderers, rapists, thieves, and worse, is self-delusion in the extreme. Consider that the history of this country, and the history of the South in particular, is filled with innumerable examples of mankind’s inhumanity to his fellow man. And we also know that not all Southeners lynched, murdered, burned, raped, and brutalized their fellow human beings. Some did-there are pictures of them posing with big smiles around the burned, tortured bodies. There are written confessions from some of the perpetrators. But in 2005, we know better than to judge an entire group of people by the reprehensible actions of a small percentage of the larger group. At least most of us do.

That’s a good question Dave. As a rich (by Hillary’s standards) White guy I can tell you what would happen. The laws of physics would still apply. Water would rise and people would die. What wouldn’t happen is the looting, the murder, the rapes and the general “jungle” mentality that gripped New Orleans THE VERY DAY THE STORM HIT. Bill Whittle says it pretty well;

“Only a few minutes ago, I had the delightful opportunity to read the comment of a fellow who said he wished that white, middle-class, racist, conservative cocksuckers like myself could have been herded into the Superdome Concentration Camp to see how much we like it. Absent, of course, was the fundamental truth of what he plainly does not have the eyes or the imagination to see, namely, that if the Superdome had been filled with white, middle-class, racist, conservative cocksuckers like myself, it would not have been a refinery of horror, but rather a citadel of hope and order and restraint and compassion.”

Read the rest then continue your seething and whining. Loser.

Socrates said a lot. He still owes me some hens.

A.

When the plug was pulled on Terry Schiavo, everybody here said it was ok. She was brain-dead and was living a life not worth living.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” – Socrates

Take a look at yourselves and my words aren’t so muffled.

Get the point?

Or, are you all brain-dead? It looks like it from here. stupid old Adams.

That’s the bush bashing posters at this site by and large.

George Bush hasn’t done the job.

He’s an asshole

He’s scum

He has shit spewing out of his mouth

and on and on

It’s sickening. I’ll power barf all day and all night.

the bush bashers make me sick.

It doesn’t belong here and I don’t know why it continues. It’s stupid. Old Adams quarrelling about what somebody supposedly has done wrong.

We’re humans. We make mistakes.

there are 36 thousand traffic deaths each and every year in America. The public outcry should be: “This is America. It shouldn’t happen here.”

However, it does.

There are 15 thousand murders each year in America. The hue and cry should be: “That shouldn’t happen here. This is America.”

We can blame George Bush, the Higway Traffic Safety Administration for that, too.

Blame George Bush for everything that has gone wrong in America since his birth.

I’m stupid. I’m the first to admit it. I make dumb mistakes all of the time. However, I must pay for them and move on.

The bush bashers don’t know when to quit.

O’Reilly has an ego as big as a hot air balloon.

It doesn’t matter what the subject, as long as attention is paid to him, he’s happy.

He can find a different way and so can the bush bashers. help out, don’t be a burden. It’s the least you can do.

Start by being human beings instead of infantilely regressed babies. good Lord

The empire is falling from within. It should be blatantly apparent by now. Crushed by its own weight.

Bush bashing is bread and circus. All bunkum and bosh.

The foreseeable American Oil Famine might end up like the Irish Potato Famine.

The chickens have come home to roost. Fifteen years of bombing Iraq and two wars has paybacks. This time, the blowback is for real.
