Every once in a while, it would be nice if you didn't try so hard to make others look stupid. I'm just saying.
My comments about the poor uneducated underclass (or whatever it was that mmmm called them) really had nothing to do with the folks on the Gulf Coast and were more sweeping generalizations about the poor uneducated underclass all over America. Of course I feel badly for those folks who didn't have the means to evacuate. And I've been pretty actively involved in some rescue efforts over the last couple of days because I think it's the right thing to do.
But to excuse antisocial behavior, like raping and looting, because someone is a member of the poor uneducated underclass only seems to me to exacerbate the problem.
