72. Spend your life being poor, black and living in New Orleans...
Then, watch as all the people from the Garden district pack up their Saabs and head for the Ft. Worth Hilton while you are left to die.

Then watch your city fall under terrifying amounts of water. You have no freaking idea if you'll survive.

THEN judge people who rip off a cartload of junk food.

(And before you judge my moral integrity, I've never stolen a damn thing in my life. But I did spend some years working in a very poor part of rural Louisiana, and I saw poverty and desperation that shocked the hell out of me. I will never see the world the same way again.)
