I'd eat someone to survive, I just wouldn't steal from them.
I'd steal to survive. I'd maim to survive. These grocery stores-- everything in it is a loss. They will not have customers in the near future. There's no benefit to salvaging any of the merchandise, since it will be covered by insurance and a salvage will be expensive. These people travelling through water to get into grocery stores? They need it.
You'd eat someone's asscheek but not take his boots?
Well, is he using the asscheek? The boots?
Not to get any more morbid, but isnt the water they're traveling through essentially a lake of poison?
ita, if he's dead, I'm thinking the only thing he's using is space.
Well, is he using the asscheek? The boots?
The asscheek is probaby easier to digest than boot leather.
Info that may be useful to Dana:
A friend of mine from the Jackson area just e-mailed. He still has no power, but he was able to charge up his computer at a local Applebee's. Restaurants and businesses have power.
The problem is gas. He's seeing long lines at the pump and some stations completely out of fuel.
After Hurricane Andrew it was complete anarchy through south Florida where my Dad lived for at least five days. They went out on nightly patrol (jeeps, big lights on top, guns) to fend of the looters from their homes. It was creepy and fucked up.
Similar thing happened in SF after the earthquake. Not the looting (very minor here), but with the police pulled away to deal with the emergencies you felt - almost immediately - on the streets a kind of threatening, grab and bully lawlessness emerge. All the lights were out and you suddenly realized that while a good portion of society exists by social contract, there is a substantial portion which is law abiding only because the police are right there.

It won't take long for that to get up here.

Not any more than, say, the Ganges is. Or the Hudson. It's not going to kill you on contact, but I'd sure as hell avoid swallowing it.
isnt the water they're traveling through essentially a lake of poison?
To put it simply, yes.
Gasoline from cars, algae and bacteria from the lake, dead animals--it's a deadly soup
