Great article by Thomas Sowell on the breakdown of civilization in New Orleans.
It is interesting that disasters bring out the best in some people and the absolute worst in others.
Personally, I think it is entirely a matter of your perspective. If you believe that we all are here by mere chance and that this life is all there is, then I suppose there is really no reason not to loot, kill or plunder to guarantee your own survival. Especially when there is no threat of consequence. "Survival of the fittest" and all.
However, if you have an eternal perspective, believe that there are absolutes when it comes to right and wrong and realize that things we do in this life will have consequences in the next, then I think your behavior here and now is guided by higher principles.
