Praying for tidal waves

To all of those people out there with no sympathy for the people left behind, those who are doing what they need to to survive...

I hope you all know how to fucking swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.

I've been wondering what I would do if I had no food or potable water. Would I steal? As much as I generally love to be on a moral highhorse, I'm pretty sure I would. I'd steal a whole big bunch if I had people depending on me.

I'm not wishing for a tidal wave, though.

If I was in that situation I would absolutely steal to feed myself and my family, or anyone I knew who needed food. It sucks to be those business owners who had to abandon ship, but it sucks worse to be the people starving with no power.

Dude. Butler would get fed. Period. How much more obnoxious would I be if I had kids? (And were I a store owner, I'd be glad my canned tuna went to a good cause.)

I would probably steal too if faced with the option of stealing or my kids starving. I wouldn't like it, but I would do it if I had to.

I don't wish a tidal wave either. I have a belief that karma is always repaid. The evil will get theirs.
