And VOILA..there's your explanation of the barter system.

And if people are stupid enough to STEAL a television in the middle of a hurricane, don't you think people are stupid enough to trade something for it?
i am not racist but i think its a completely stupid argument to say that looters are really just forward thinking capitalists..

enlighten us as a black man... after the Rodney King verdict and the rioting and looting started... why was that happening again? was it because a category 5 hurricane was hitting Watts? or because a bunch of poor people with crowd/riot mentality found safety in numbers and quickly stole anything they could?
