   Lack of Regulation Means Higher Prices

   http://www.gaystoryman.com/ talk/ 2008/ 09/ 22/ higher-prices/

   Regulation of Industry isn’t about controlling what we get to buy, or even preventing a company from making a profit. For the most part, regulation is about protecting the consumer from fraud, from price gouging, from unreasonable increases.

   Consumerist Insiders: Is Walmart Price-Gouging Hurricane Victims?

   http://fullyarticulated.typepad.com/ sprawledout/ 2008/ 09/ is-walmart-price-gou…

    http://alntv.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 09/ 18/ so-much-for-price-gouging/

Buildings crumbled (well…a rooftop anyway), trees fell and much of my neighbors stuff was blown into my yard.
