Despicable human behavior (or am I being redundant?)
Here are some tidbits of humanity in action I culled from recent news items:
There are reports of looting in many of the tsunami-affected countries - with homes, shops and even dead bodies being targeted.
More than 2,000 people are feared dead in Sweden, but the authorities in Stockholm have said they are not publishing the names of those affected for fear that thieves could break into their properties.
In Sri Lanka, some of the disaster victims have allegedly been raped in refugee camps.
Criminal gangs are befriending children orphaned by the tsunami, and selling them to sex traffickers.
Sure, some of these may turn out to be urban legends...but let’s face it: None of us would be surprised to learn it was all true, right?
