So what are you saying? I don't think this is any kind of a conspiracy. I just think that whatever group was responsible for the attacks was smart enough to make a few bucks from the aftermath. What do you think?

Lowes and Home Depot cleaned up, selling "recovery tools" to some dimwitted cunt who then "donated" them to the clean-up effort. Oh, and those "recovery tools"...were pitchforks, rakes and shovels. Speaking of those two stores...they RAPED people in our area...just like the fucking gas/oil companies do. Right before "Hurricane Issabel" came rolling through, the price of plywood jumped to nearly $35 a sheet. If this country isn't a fucking joke.......
