Looters don't like country
« on: September 18, 2005, 12:06:40 PM »
>>The Wal-Mart store in uptown New Orleans, built within the last year, survived the storm but was destroyed by looters.

"They took everything - all the electronics, the food, the bikes," said John Stonaker, a Wal-Mart security officer. "People left their old clothes on the floor when they took new ones. The only thing left are the country-and-western CDs. You can still get a Shania Twain album."

Even I would leave a Shania Twain CD. They were probably afraid to take Toby Keith stuff. He'd hunt them down a la Jerry Lee.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Don't pussyfoot around.  Be clear for everyone who doesn't know what you're trying to say (but not quite brave enough to commit to).

Most of the looters were black.

Do you deny that fact?

Yep, the theme of "feel bad racist facts" and "feel good non-racist facts."

Yep sandman. Why were so many left in the city.  Why did the looters choose to steal non vital items.

Anyone who don't loot Shania Twain album can't really be bad.
