I take comfort knowing I have enlightened so many to the impropriety of ass-end toweling.
Something else that comforts me is knowing in times of crises there'll always be looters. No matter the scale of tragedy nor the degree of difficulty to reach merchandise, expect a bunch of ratty lookin' folk to despoil shops and steal armfuls of toilet plungers & size 40 dresses. Why, centuries ago during the plague groups of serfs probably ransacked local shanties to make off with bountiful supplies of cow dung & maggoty bread! I sneakingly suspect these folks don't actually need a crisis at all to get 'looty'. Try loitering with them one sunday afternoon and suddenly ask if they'd rather go for a stroll in the park, get a Carvel ice cream cone, or go plunder the local dollar store. My money's on option 3. Luckily during this hurricane those huge stolen dresses will fit nicely their bloated dead bodies as they float down main street.

It make one wonder how much could be done if those looters put their evil deeds to good use!
Oh, no kidding, Adrienne! I never thought about it quite like that, but just Imagine...!
I am so glad I don't live in the disaster zone -- the photos and stories are just insane... they need so much help even my dad might get called out there (and we live in Florida)
These people could only wish they had a towel to wipe their tush's on...much less have a bathroom to privately loot the toilet bowl. I don't have a problem with the necessities...because they for the most part don't have anything. But under the circumstances I don't think taking jewelry and the like (non necessity)is what this is all about. Who needs a TV or refrigerator when you don't have electricity to use...or even a house to put the stolen items in anyway. The logic escapes me.
very poetic, the way you tie it all together, the things stolen with karmic repercussion for those stealing. also, i don't know why. i like seeing the word 'despoil' here. i never see that word.
I saw footage of people taking grocerys and water, and then behind them was a lady with nothing but a dyson. It was so dumb. Good luck vacuuming...
I like that word "despoil" too because it really fits.
adrienne- wondering those sort of things makes me depressed & miserable
les- thanks for visiting
L- what does your dad do?
sumo- Yes, necessities are completely different from the other crap
sara- I never use that word!
katie- I can't understand that. Housecleaning stinks at any time but is probably worse when one has no house left
pbs- I try to give many different words a fair shake
rainypete- I wonder which would last longer, the roaches or the twinkies
I think it's a bit off that the National Guard was pretty quick smart to get ready to shoot looters, yet actual help in the form of rescue, food, water and clothing has been so slow to arrive.
he used to be a funeral director, and is on a FEMA contact list for large disasters. They use him to help coordinate things sometimes. Not sure yet if/when they'll call him in on this one. He said they put him on alert, but is still here
Then we establish proposition which means that we attempt to find to find out what claim do we want to test and specify what type of methodology should be used.
