i have to admit, i've been existing in a law school bubble the past two weeks. i haven't pulled my nose out of my textbooks so much that i wasn't even aware of the hurricane warnings until monday night and only found out about casualties tuesday evening when i received seung's mass email. it's never been as easy as it is now to feel so far

First it was "terrorists," now it's "looters"

Thanks for pointing out the bias. I support the looters (there, I said it), those who wore such desperate looks, waded in filthy, chest-high floodwaters, only to return with what appeared to be foodstuffs. Seung & others remain in my thoughts.

i love replying to myself

Yahoo's taken down one of the pix...notably, leaving up the one of the black teen "looting." At least they added this message board on the topic.
