It's not looting people, it's survival

I'm not going to launch in to a big long rant on what ISN"T being done for the victims of Katrina. But I am going to say that when you are left out in the elements, with no food or water or medical care and there's a store right in front of you, and no aid in sight, it's not looting it's survival. Has any one bothered to look at the news footage of what these people are "making off with" when they show pictures of "looting"? Thi sis not the L.A. riots with people making off with TVs and stereos, these are people taking food, water, and medical supplies to try to keep as many friends and family alive as they can. Hello, anyone else hearing a wake up call?!
