-Caveat Lector-
Of COURSE that's what a cop would think. That's SO indicitive of cop
mentality. It's also inmitigated hogwash.
I live in San Francisco. Let me tell you what REALLY happens when there's
a major natural disaster here. In 1989 we had a quake, the Loma Prieta. It
wasn't the Big One, but it did kill people, set fires and put out the
lights. I was at my girlfriend's place in North Beach, the heart of the
party zone when it struck. Lights there were out for four days.
With very, very few very isolated exceptions there was no violence and no
looting. There were no riots. What actually happened was people pulled
together to help each other. The cops, as usual, were virtually
superfulous. Firemen, on the other hand acted with great skill and courage
and with more than ample spontaneous, voluntary assistance from
civilians, myself included.
Over in Oakland the now famous Cypress Expressway ran through one of the
Bay Area's, and America's, most "poverty-stricken ethnic ghettos." When it
collapsed it killed many and trapped more. Right next to the worst part of
the disaster is a truly grim and dismal looking housing project. Since it
looks so much like a prison camp and sits next to an old Nabisco factory
with a prominant sign and huge fences, my friends and I who rode by fairly
often took to calling it "Stalag Nabisco." Some of the poorest people in
the state live there. When the lights went out and the Expressway
collapsed they did not run amok. They did not loot. They immediately ran
to the rescue of the trapped motorists. Many crawled on their bellies
through pools of spilled gasoline under teetering hundred ton slabs of
concrete to rescue people who, in normal circumstances, never gave them a
second thought as they drove past the "stalag" on their way home to the
suburbs. That's human nature. That's how human beings are. Uncontrolled
hatred and violence is cop nature. That's how cops are.
The real danger of Y2K isn't people. It's embedded chips in nuclear
reactors. Anything else we can work around. If the grid flickers a little,
so what? That's everyday life in the Third World. If supply chain
disruptions cause shortages, so what? That's everyday life in the Third
World. But if one, just one, nuke melts down, that's all she wrote. So
stop being distracted by this stupid, racist propaganda and get on the
phone and DEMAND that your local nuke be taken offline. Your life may
depend on it. All our lives may depend on it.
