In the wake of the hurricane I heard stories of people looting televisions, 
Nikes, even white bread and sodas.  But I did not hear of anyone seen carrying 
away a 50# sack of wheat or a goat over their shoulders.  Nor did I hear of 
any looting in the extensive expanse of counryside that was affected by the 
storm.

In some wider calamity no one had better show up here 'demanding' anything.  
Asking, perhaps.  But someone who will demand that you feed them today will 
demand all sorts of other things tomorrow.  Better to get that straightened out 
at the onset.
