I have learnt this new concept called "Class Factory" in America.

use strict; use warnings; my $location = $whatever->getLocation(); my $profile = HumanProfiler->getProfile($location); if ($profile->getBlackPopulation() > 60% or $profile->getLowIncome() > + 60%) { delayRescueEffortAcrossRace(); while (1) { for $image (@lootingImage) { if ($image->isWhiteInvolved()) { next; } else { showOnNatinalMedium($image->getGIF()); } } } }

    Too bad Katrina couldn't be blamed on terrorists....instead the blame will fall on global warming....which GWB dosn't know how to handle, since it embarrasses his oil-patch buddies.

      Are you sure?
      • It came from the east
      • It passed close by Cuba (but didn't hit it - very suspicious)
      • It is an old English name and means "Blessed/Pure/Holy One" -> fundamentalists would love it!
      • it struck indiscriminately
      • it makes good TV

        It gave terrorists ideas about where to strike next, and when.

    Since rescue is always the responsibility of local authorities, and since the White House urged evacuation and offered aid days before the storm, where does the blame rest? Obviously not on a _black_ mayor?!
      # the White House urged evacuation $profile->mayNotBeAbleToEvacuate() if $profile->getLowIncome();
        This whole thread is borderline trollish and now way off topic, but I'll add my two cents:

        $profile->scroungeUpEnoughForABusTicket() if $profile->reallyBelievedTheHurricaneWouldHit();
