Somehow I don't believe either would pass the sniff test in view of the FEMA fiascos with Katrina,
Rita, and to a lesser extent Wilma. I suspect state and local public safety and emergency planning
response organizations would go ballistic with the loss of those vital services.

I don't believe King George or his lackies in Congress would be able to stand the heat on that one.


Tim, the real problem with the hurricanes you mention is that people
did not take responsibility for themselves or basic needs during/after
a hurricane. Don't blame the feds (FEMA) for personal
irresponsibility. If you feel that the government should hand hold
everyone then that same government should be able to dictate every
move you make, every decision,every purchase, etc.

Either you believe in personal freedom and the responsibility for
yourself that it entails..or you belong in a socialist country.
Frankly, your viewpoint is not what made America great.
