What does it say about the other Nations who have not appeared to offer any assistance?
Nothing in the news about the United Nations building and its personnel. Where did they go?
We should halt all United Nations contributions and all foreign aid until this catastrophe has been solved financially and physically.
I think it says that Americans should get to know their neighbors and come up with a plan. They used to call it civil defense.
If a neighbor was getting out of town before a storm, somebody knew about it so time wasn’t wasted digging through the rubble of their home. They knew where the elderly were so they could be helped. The basement of the library was full of civil defense supplies like canned food and basic medicines. There were certain men who would have duties assigned to them. My grandfather was an electrician so he would cut or restore electricity. We had a local doctor and nurses. Some men were expected to do temporary home repairs to make homes livable etc.
Good article...here’s something that we can learn from.
A trait we used to have and the envy of all...

On the day of Halloween I was listening to a talk show and a women called in saying she believed the Government should CANCEL HALLOWEEN in the States hit by Sandy because of the danger to trick or treaters and others made possible by downed power lines etc.
WTH? Talk about a Nanny State? These clueless, helpless morons cannot even take it upon themselves to simply tell their own kids they will not be going out on Halloween because it is to dangerous. Instead they seem to want to “blame” it on the Government so they won’t have to make a decision themselves, in other words they won’t have to be a parent with the responsibilities attached thereto.
Obama has not done these ridiculous things so far so he could get reelected. If he does, it will be a hard lesson in economic reality for a lot of Americans: cheap power is linked with a strong economy.
Sandy says only fools and the very wealthy have dwelings within a flood plain. If you live on a flood plain, you will be flooded.
The plain fact is that no government entity, nor probably all of the government entities, can provide food and water for millions of people even once, much less over several days or weeks. When the roads are flooded and debris is everywhere, you can’t move in the thousands of truck loads of logistics required. It’s impossible. People must take care of themselves. The limited amount of supplies that can be brought in should be for those who lost everything, not those who have a roof over their heads but didn’t prepare.
It shows us that Americans are more dependant on government
than ever before, Instead of storing six months food supplies, putting away bottled water, buying an adequately
sized generator and learning how to use it. etc.
Katrina: "Where's Bush!"
Sandy: "Where's the governor? Where's the mayor? Where's FEMA?"
Everyone to blame but Oblamer.
The bonus: Benghazi is off the front page!
One of the best analyses of recent political trends I’ve seen. Thanks for posting this.
It reveals that we are ripe for an overthrow. Our enemies are taking notes.
Dont talk like one of them. Youre not! Even if youd like to be. To them, youre just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they dont, theyll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their MORALS, their CODE, its a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. Theyre only as good as the world allows them to be. Ill show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, THEY'LL EAT EACH OTHER. See, Im not a monster. Im just ahead of the curve ~ The Joker
We see this happening in NYC and New Jersey right before our eyes in the aftermath of Sandy.
