The question was posed "what happens when those services run out?" You need look only to Katrina - The masses: looting, robbery, preying upon the weak, mob mentality
I would be leery of equating New Orleans to the rest of America. Using this analogy, why didn't the same thing happen along the rest of the coast devastated by Katrina or when Ike devastated the Texas coast? Same event cycle - different group of participants. Much like an NTC/JRTC training cycle - different units perform differently on the same terrain under the same set of circumstances.

IMO - America is much, much more than what we saw during Katrina and that there are, in fact, more Americans of our ilk (like the rest of the Gulf Coast) than those consistently being spot-lighted by the MSM and Polecatus Washingtonium - the career victims with TV sets and a voter registration card.

My take on all this - be patient and Keep the faith.
