How many people have to tell these dumb asses to GET THE HELL OUT OF
DODGE
when there is a Level 5 hurricane bearing down on them, before they
actually
listen?


You might better direct your anger towards a federal government that had
all
the same warnings, all the same information (and probably more), and yet
has
STILL not taken control of the situation, FOUR DAYS after disaster struck.

Shoot, Jay, when even the collective might of the United States military
and
its assorted agencies are running around with their thumbs up their asses
several days after the fact, is it really appropriate to express outrage
at
the victims who are suffering most?


The Feds must be invited by the governor of any state before they can
react -- period. This is NOT a Federal Government thing until it becomes
apparent that the State cannot handle things.

I am not angry about the situation -- I am incredulous. It's an awful,
horrible mess, and the entire country is going to pay a bitter price for the
stupidity and arrogance of a relative few, starting with:

1. People who thought it was okay to live 20 feet below sea level, next to
an ocean.
2. Government officials who allowed stupid people to build 20 feet below sea
level, next to an ocean.
3. Environmental activists who, through their actions, have left our country
economically ravaged by the loss of a few lousy oil refineries.
4. Able bodied "victims" who, on national TV, shout their anger and contempt
because the "Gubmint" hasn't done enough.
5. Armed gangs of "victims" who are shooting at rescue helicopters.
