Looting in Tacloban

At a time when the desperate need for survival is at its peak, the natural right to life governs above all. Hypothetically, when the only food left in the world is a piece of bread, billions of people would be more than willing to kill the other billions until the last man standing would take and eat that bread. It is fundamentally human to take the last resort in matters between life and death, whatever consequences they may entail. It doesn't take a genius to digest that.

But looters stealing washing machines, refrigerators, or suitcases, and saying that it is their natural right to life is ABSURD. Unless, out of an immediate involuntary biological response, their stomach learned to digest metal and wires, I would understand. Otherwise, these looters shall pay for what they have done.
