> The more I think about it, the fact that even after being so badly failed repeatedly the iconic pictures of looting were people scavenging for no-longer saleable bottled water & food seems more like an argument that most people are law-abiding for reasons beyond just fear of punishment. That's what I wanted to get at with the part about it not being necessarily unethical, just because it is illegal. I first thought about using a different example (war zones and how fast peoples behaviour detoriates into "I take what I want because no one can stop me"), but somehow Katrina felt more relatable. Reading your linked articles maybe it wasn't the best example after all. Thanks for the heads-up.
