N'oleans

I have been totally disgusted by the various governing bodies' reactions to the flooding in New Orleans. Saw on CNN today that they are removing police forces from search and rescue efforts *to prevent looting*. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!?!?!? Where are our priorities? Is STUFF really more fucking important than PEOPLE?!? I suppose it should have been obvious to me from day one that it's STUFF, otherwise corporations wouldn't have nearly as much power as they currently do, but I'm still completely aghast. FIND THE PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP. FUCK THE STUFF FOR NOW. THERE WILL BE MORE STUFF.

I don't mean to yell, but this just makes my blood boil.

Not only that, maybe the looters need the stuff -- water, tinned food, etc. Not to mention, companies like Wal-Mart are insured for the stuff and most of it is going to get trashed for water damage anyway.

I know -- that's what makes me extra mad. It's just ludicrous. Makes me far more prone to using all-caps and profanity than I usually am...
