Funny....I'd have never expected *you* to bring this up! You must be starting to see the light, there is hope for you after all.

Why won't you villify them? Because they are hungry? Because most of the ones that are shown on television are black? Because you can't blame anyone for anything?

It's against the law to steal. I don't care if you're hungry. If I had to steal to feed my family, I'd be prepared to deal with the consequences. I wouldn't, however, be on CNN showing my new Nike's.

Please Mr. C, please hold some accountable for their own actions, just once.

And blaming me doesn't count.

And why should the govt fund people who choose to live in a danger zone? Would you be for the govt funding to rebuild Malibu, CA beach homes because they fell in the ocean? Bet not. 'cause the people who live there are white, or rich? two curses against them you thinks.

If anything, the govt should help the victims, get 'em out, and buy out the damn place. Lease it to farmers. No more buildings.
