Let Katrina be a wake-up call for everyone-

Arm yourselves- have contingency plans.
when society breaks down, with looters and rape gangs roaming the streets, you'll be happy you did.

Peak oil is coming, and global warming is very real.

Pszzt.... there is no such thing as global warming remember?

This is the wrath of god for all that evil doin' in NO

[sniffa]

2. rape gangs now too?

i can't keep up it.

5. Before you know it, they'll be

summarily executing people in the streets.

[bluestateguy]

3. Rape gangs?

This is a serious question. Has that actually been happening?

Looting is really bad, but gang raping in this kind of situation?! I'm not sure I can even think of a punishment that would be harsh enough for such an evil act. I'll have to read up on Idi Amin or Pol Pot's regimes to figure it out.

6. Yea, I hope that's just rumor....

[sniffa]

7. are they swimming the streets?

[liberalitch]

8. I heard some guy say that his brother had to take a big breath...

and swim out of his house from the second story.... then had to swim three blocks (NPR)

9. i didn't mean to imply that there were rape gangs in NO-

but in the mad max future we may well be headed for- they'll most likely be part of the reality.
