That's a bit cruel...true, but cruel.

I mean if you are so stupid that you wait around for Big Brutha to come rescue you, or stay in the path of a hurricane because you are hoping to loot empty houses and stores...and you get killed, I see that as evolution at work.

Keep in mind however that in order to cook the "death" books on Katrina, they counted people 200-300 miles away who dropped dead of heart attacks or who got into car accidents on the way to the movies as "Katrina deaths" because they had evacuated.

This, by the way, is the same approach the anti-American left and their 5th Column, the "news" media use for calculating war-related deaths in Iraq. Anybody who has died in Iraq since the invasion is a "war-related" death. So some 96 year old shepherd in an area that's never seen a moment of combat (of course the left won't admit there ARE such areas in Iraq) who dies in his sleep is "war-related" simply because the war is going on.

The only thing that surprises me is that they have not extended this to the US...hey, we ARE in a war...so if your great Aunt Bess, 87, drops dead tomorow when she's out slopping the hogs on her rural Missouri farm, clearly she should be counted as a casualty!
