"Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S. we can easily see where the civilized part of the world's population is."

Personally, I try not delude myself with the idea of being civilized in times of disaster... I embrace that I'll be the first on the roof with a shotgun...
