I really can't believe you think Chavez won't help whites. This is the big news: the rest of the world is NOT always thinking in terms of black and white. Surely a man like Chavez, who is ruling a nation of whites, black and indians (living together with no fuss, as in most Latin America they do), and being an half indian himself, is not doing question of racism against white, black or green people.

The world doesn't think the same way you think, I'm sorry.

Sad to say, read www.isteve.com on the racial caste systems in s. america, Steve Sailor also thinks we're heading for that same kind of world here in N. america if we don't start changing things quick.

Living and growing up in the US and seeing and living in the racial caste systems here, I just can't believe in a "let's all join hands and sing kum-by-ya" future. Which is too bad, we sure sang that one a lot in elementary school and it's a neat song.

All of those things that you describe are acts of survival.

I would loot a jewlery store, for sure. If getting a little trinket that catches someones eye would enable me to trade for something I need, which is in short supply, I would quickly trade a $500 watch for a chocolate bar if that is all there was.

Don't forget we aren't talking about sachs 5th ave here. most jewlery stores have rings etc with a top price of $1000. (this is canada don't forget so the prices I quote will be different) it would take a few of those babbies to move someone to give up bottled water or diapers.

but finding things to trade is what you do on the street. you may not want or need it but sure as hell you'll find someone who would want it, especially after everyone has just lost EVERYTHING they own.

In my opinion the trading argument is bull. People are killing each other for the things they need, not trading. It's the US and everyone wants that American dream. I guess they are even willing to kill people to get it. These looters are, in many cases, taking much more than what they need to survive. Taking much more than what you need is greed, not survival.

I might steal about 3 days of food and water, but if I take 5 shopping carts full while some people in the city need that food and water also, that's pure greed.

That's very cute.

I haven't watched Sesame Street for quite some time. I guess Elmo does talk in the third person. I'll have to start watching again.

That way I can catch up with what's really important in the world.
