...I would issue a decree that everything in all New Orleans-area stores right now is free to anyone who wants it. Looting? I don't think so...most of these people are just looking for food and supplies to keep them alive, and the only stipulation to the "it's free" declaration would be medical drugs (not free...available only to those who need them). Looting? I don't think it's looting. I think it's called sheer, human survival.
