to quote - "this is a travesty. it's a travesty of a mockery. it's a travesty of a mockery of a sham" and so on. My lovely bride pointed out to me yesterday that she's been worried that a terrorist group may take advantage of our current crisis try to "kick us while we're down". Very good point but I don't think the terrorists can mobilize that fast - but it can happen. What is happening though is our own destruction. I've seen video of looting and now there's rioting. People are shooting at the heli's bringing in aid and trying to transport out the ill and injured. Why are we attacking ourselves? 2 reasons. 1. When faced with death an animal will react by doing whatever it can to maintain it's survival. 2. We are animals, we are not a civilized people, and these people are faced with death and are doing what they think they should do to survive. This is a perfect example of how a mass of people will react under attack. To a degree, the parts of this county that have been hit by the hurricane resemble areas of other countries that have have been scared by war. I wish my responsibilities were such that I could go there and help, but I cannot. I can however observe the disaster and record my opinion of what I see happening. this is a blog and I am not a reporter. It's not that I have no sympathy for the people caught in this disaster, it's just that I can't understand why would you attack each other? In Hollywood, when there's a disaster everyone pulls together and helps each other out - unless of course it's a horror flick - so why isnt this going like that? See rule # 2. I pray for these people all day and have since the hurricane started. Four days now - no water, no food no power, no toothpaste. Nothing to return too. I cannot remember a nightmare in my life that was as bad as the reality is in this disaster. I cannot remember a disaster as bad as this. But I never remembered anyone attacking the medics trying to help the wounded. I have said this for years and want to note it again - it will be a civil war that destoys this wonderfull land and not WWIII.
