Thanks Geez.  I'm watching Washington Journal (CSPAN) and the starting topic is on the states' budget deficits.  Naturally CA is top of the list.  My recommendations to my fellow BEE bloggers is to remember that when the rioting/pillaging begins they should look to the folks that have those huge homes in gated communities, NOT their impoverished neighbors.  The rich might have bodyguards but the payoff would be so much better.  :)

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Sadly, the tendency is to loot the most despised minority within the local community, even if that local community itself is a minority, although in the Rodney King riots in LA big box retailers, especially of electronics and sporting goods, were opportunistically targeted, one right in front of my vehicle on La Cienega.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
