Some of these towns in the north have been so severely damages that there is little to steal. <br /><br />Good point about the shame element Bob. I wonder what impact that has on society as a whole regarding behavior. <br /><br />Our society often revels in shameful behavior. At the very least we are entertained by it. All manner of celebrities and comedians say terrible things and are applauded and reinforced in their actions. Rule-breakers receive little punishment, rather political support in many cases.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19733180.post-43166589675078573842011-03-16T20:46:09.087-05:002011-03-16T20:46:09.087-05:00Yes, there is no looting, but there is another sid...Yes, there is no looting, but there is another side to this story. In the ongoing story about the nuclear plants, there is a lack of transparency and even accurate information. <br /><br />There is an honor/shame element here that is being missed.
