Imagine there is a catastrophic event such as a Category Six hurricane. No current hurricane or typhoon on Earth has been measured at Cat Six status to date. The storms we are seeing in the Pacific, the Super Typhoons, are pushing up against that possibility of a new Cat Six storm. The possibility of that occurring pushes the tensile strength of water vapor, but, the measurements are definitely at the high end of Cat Five.
The chances of surviving such a storm alone is very remote, however, we know there were marginal survivors after Hurricane Andrew passed over southern Florida.
Andrew stuck Dade county on August 24th (click here) as a Category 5 hurricane, with the center first reaching the coast at the northern tip of Elliott Key. The storm devastated Dade County where it caused an estimated $25 billion in damage, especially over the Homestead area....
Hurricane Andrew, which made landfall on Aug. 24, 1992, in Elliot Keys and Homestead, Fla., caused 15 deaths directly, 25 deaths indirectly and $30 billion in property damage. Adjusting for inflation, it’s the second-costliest storm in U.S history. Katrina, which hit in 2005, was the costliest.
The only reason any American should be allowed to legally take the life of other person(s) is when their lives are directly threatened. Every citizen has a right to their life. To believe another citizen's life has less status over looting is hideous. Who is to say looting isn't as legitimate a survival tactic as gun ownership?
Let's take this to the level of political ideology. Just for fun. I am making no accusations.
Let's say in the back rooms of white people meetings, once known as the KKK, but, now occurs far more diffusely organized; there are plans for annihilating anyone statistically identified as 'a taker.'
Hurricane Andrew hit Dade County. What county came into focus in the 2000 elections?
So, somewhere in Dade County lives a 'gun nut case' accumulating weapons and ammunition at every word there will be regulations (AKA protections) to citizens. The excuse he/she or both uses to justify this obsessive/compulsive behavior is survival. And to that rational they have a basement room about thirty feet below the surface stocked with all kinds of stuff insuring they would eat well enough following the loss of governmental authority.
The storm passes over and to their luck their subterrestrial room didn't flood. They emerge with plenty of weapon stores and ammunition and then seek out their neighbors and pass out the weapons. They make their way into a populated area and under the guise of law they begin to 'kill off' the takers, looting or not. Their final frustrations with the impoverished and so called "big government" is finally coming to an end empowered by laws that remove the definition of human life following any natural disaster in Florida.
The survival of people within natural disasters is not being alone. Survival is best insured by preparedness by government to move large amounts of people from the area to be effected. As a nation we have spent gozillions of US dollars on research and preparedness. Earthquake preparedness and building codes speak to the dedication of the USA to protect human life.
Our status as a nation influential in any international theater is the fact the USA has upheld the integrity of human life above any political or religious dogma, rules or ideology.
Imagine now laws within this country that allows mayhem and anarchy. Within that lies the idea citizens can kill at will during these times. Then it happens. Ultimately, when a law is enacted, the statistics dictate it will come to bear at some point in time. So, the world witnesses mass murder scenes to put Jonestown to shame. What then? The USA says, "Ooops?"
The idea a civilized society invests in their brain trust, their government and common areas to insure it's citizens have a life worth living defines it's welcomeness among other nations both as allies and in economic trade. If the identity of the USA begins to shift it's benevolent influence on a global scale it will be rejected and history will dictate isolation and quite possibly a change in alliances and potential invasion to end such hideous laws and tenuous existence of the poor.
It is a proven fact, ie: Iraq, the USA cannot begin a global war and have it's way. The USA was isolated and the war within Iraq rejected as a national defense necessity for the USA. Following the Iraq invasion paradigms of power began to shift. Today, the nuclear proliferation following the Iraq invasion is profound within nations identified as 'rouge' nations. There still exists skepticism about the ability of the USA to contain it's power and to that end we are seeing aggressions in areas of the world best left to peace.
When any state decides it has rights over and above that of the findings of it's federal authorities, including the Supreme Court there are ripples across this globe. This 'scenario' is not unrealistic. It can easily exist in a nation bent on self-defense that results in deaths of the innocent, ie: young African American men. The USA allies won't put up with it and while the power within the USA military is often necessary as a presence to stabilize a region, ie: Ukraine; that presence is as much a national defense of the USA as well as it's ally(ies) and will not leverage power economically and the USA will ultimately be isolated.
So, the hubris existing in today's society in the USA that actually entertains such aggressive laws promoting death and not life will not stand. In this case, the allies won't have to pass laws to isolate the USA, the consumerism of tourism will do that all by itself.
The Florida state legislature is lined with idiots using extremist politics to secure their power and personal wealth. This law is unconstitutional from it's inception and completely irresponsible. This is not governance, it is however the next step in right wing anarchy hell bent on greed and power for the individual at the cost of the lives and well being of others. It is a completely perverse set of values and shameful to those proposing such ideas as law to this country.
