well, the same report said that for the flood in Asia last Xmas they hven't
had those hassles with bureaucracy etc. - btw: the organisations here
responded within a day and not 4 days.

I guess that only confirms my long-held suspicion that we have the
worst, least efficient government bureacracy in the world.

All you have to do is walk into the Department of Motor Vehicles, of
any state in the Union, and you would know *that* in about five
minutes.

Anyone who believes that these same government morons will instantly
become icons of efficiency when put under intense pressure (As in
Katrina) doesn't understand human nature very well.
