Freezing to death from generators not running or possibly using the wrong container for gas? The Government is here to protect you, even if it kills you in the process. Was it the BEST option to haul gas like that? Nope. Was it a better option then letting your children and others face freezing nights without power. Hell yes. Of course, since the idiots on this thread are not facing the issue, they have no right to judge what they would do, nor what others have the right to do to protect their own. [/quote] Children need to be raised in a home and to have a wood stove or pellet stove for back up heat. Its what is done in the winter in the midwest and northern and mountain states. You cant place your lives 100 percent on the utility line and the gas station. [/quote] I don't know if you are aware, but in most cities now, it is illegal to have an open fireplace & burning wood, coal. Where I live, only "natural gas" & electricity is allowed. We can thank environmental laws for this. [/quote] [/quote] I didnt say Fireplaces or OPEN anything, I said a woodburning stove which is contained . You do know what a woodburning stove is right? And of course fireplaces though are legal here. Its usually already built into homes but its no where near able to provide livable heat like a woodburning stove can. Heres a link to woodburning stoves from ACE hardware, practically sold in every city of the USA http://www.acehardware.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1260958 [/quote] I was replying to your statement about children etc. Since cities have stict laws about wooodburning stoves, this makes it impossible for most average families or poorer families. I just spoke to my own city about this & if we live in condo's we cannot install a woodburning stove at all. Only private independent standing homes can "apply" for a permit & has to be inspected, & the fire dept. also have to be part of it. Plus, one's home insurance goes up. Again, with so much of big brother involved, it becomes financially impossible for most. [/quote] Again, you think us Americans are moronic and stupid? Of course it has to be up to code !!!!!!!! youll burn your place down if it isnt !!!! And of course condos and apartments cant have a stove, duh ! But if one was to raise a family, of course youre expected to provide a real home for them. and boo hoo hoo, too many hurdles to save your families life if the heat went out. Boo hoo, cant save up money no, for something that could save your life, Cant walk down or make phone calls to make sure everythings good to go, yeah, too much trouble to make a fire, only heating elements and furnace from utility company can provide us like a baby and a teat, boo hoo, cry me a river.

In the great US of A, you get arrested for trying to help out your neighbors.
The state doesn't want you to think or act on your own, therefore you are arrested for circumventing the states "disaster" recovery aparatus.
Imagine what 5 gallons of gas would have done to help all those people surive a little longer.
Disgusting:

Police arrested a 47-year-old New York man accused of filling up 30 five-gallon Home Depot buckets with gasoline on Saturday night.
According to investigators, Yunus Latif, of Richmond Hill, collected money from his neighbors, bought gas at a Valero station almost 80 miles away in Orange and planned to bring it back to his neighborhood, where they had no power and gas.
