Save the TV Sets!

Things seem to be all backwards these days. Case in point is the coverage of Katrina. For about two days when people were dying and no help was in sight, there was no outrage over the lack of help; and then the “looting” started. The outrage radiates out from CNN—“we have to send troops into the city to stop looter!” Shoot to kill order was reported given. Bodies can float on streets but god forbid someone breaks windows and steals TVs, which, incidentally, is completely useless without power. There were thousands of people desperate for rescue, and they were asking that police be sent to guard department stores? Talking about ass-backward!
