32. well to break it down and get away from all the DRAMA
Yes we can. Life works best when we play by the rules. If you have kids who need huggies, you should have gotten them the hell out of there. You can still get them to shelters and help stations. You don't need to put your future and your children's future at risk looting a private business. If the owner were still there and shot you, which could easily happen in the south, you would not get the huggies, you would not pass go.

It sounds harsh, but you have to draw a line. If you're looting, ATMS or huggies, you are still breaking the law and endangering yourself.

There may be a time of ultimate last resort in which choosing anarchy like that might mean your continued survival - I don't think Mr. Huggie is there yet.

It's a storm / flood, and a bad one, but there will be more absolutely without a doubt. It's not the worst thing that has ever happened to a city or region in the U.S., and there is no reason to act like anarchy is justifiable at this time. It's been ONE DAY.

Nobody is going to starve to death in one day. And NOBODY needs huggies that bad - what a strange conceit.
