NYC: No looting?
I'm shocked. I expected a NO style showing from the "young people."

Either they don't know how to swim or haven't stolen any boats yet. Or maybe they were too busy moving their last haul to the upper floors.

I heard the other day that in Japan, after the tsunami, 78% of the money found in the ruins has been returned to its rightful owner. The rest of the money cannot be traced to an owner, don't know whats going to become of that.

That's the big difference between the Japanese and us. They have a sense of community. They simply do not take things that don't belong to them.

I was expecting mayhem in NYC, too. Glad I was wrong this time.

They have a sense of honor. In the U.S....many people "just wanna get mine."
