1. I have'nt either ...
But my mom and I were just watching CNN and she made the comment of how Anderson Cooper and other reporters should watch out . All we have been hearing are reports about shooting but I have yet to hear one gunshot throughout the entire coverage from the past week on into today .

4. No, nor have I seen videotape of anyone carrying a TV out of a store
I'm told such footage is out there. But in all the hours and hours of TV I watched during this first week of disaster, all I saw was people taking food, water, diapers, shoes, clean clothes, etc.

I'm sure there have been a couple of assholes out there, stealing stuff. But 99.99% of the so-called "looting" has been for the necessities of life.

Yet 99.99% of the repuke bush-apologists out there have been whimpering and crying about "stealing TVs"

Amazing how quickly lies grow and take on a life of their own, even when facts and truth are readily available.

9. I watched a local reporter in a helicopter dropping water and MRI's...
...for about an hour yesterday to people. The photographer was giving play by play and never once mentioned anything about any reports of gunfire.
