Anarchy - When Government Is Spread Thin
According to www.dictionary.com, anarchy is a failure of political control.
| QUOTE |
| anarchy n. pl. an·ar·chies 1. Absence of any form of political authority. 2. Political disorder and confusion. 3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose. n : a state of lawlessness and disorder (usually resulting from a failure of government) [syn: lawlessness] |
We currently have a "short term" anarchy growing in the South, where law enforcement and governmental authority is nonexistent in parts of the storm affected areas -- in some areas, like New Orleans, because the violence is so bad, even the rescuers have been pulled out.

| By Adam Nossiter ASSOCIATED PRESS: NEW ORLEANS - The evacuation of the Superdome was suspended Thursday because of fires and gunshots outside the arena, authorities said, as National Guardsmen in armored vehicles poured into New Orleans to help restore order across the increasingly lawless and desperate city..."The truth is, a terrible tragedy like this brings out the best in most people, brings out the worst in some people," said Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour on NBC's "Today" show. "We're trying to deal with looters as ruthlessly as we can get our hands on them." |
The National Guard is coming in with some 10,000 to 28,000 troops. Martial law will be imposed, if it hasn't already begun. Can the military actually clean things up? There are plenty of guns and ammo that were looted along with beer and backpacks. I wonder how long this horror is going to last.
