Reason needs to prevail in your all-condemning statements. There is no way that every official from top to bottom deserves equal blame and that all have as you put it dropped the ball.

You cannot tell, from your vantage point, who has or has not done what. So you lob verbal grenades at them all. So go ahead, you can attack me, too. I'll stand with the Feds in this horrible situation that was by appearances created from the ground up, not from the top down.

Until I have sound reason to conclude otherwise, which I sure don't right now.

Check your post. You threw the first verbal (typed) grenades. Now, you whine about being attacked. lol.

I'm saying the people need help -- doer's. Not people sitting back in their air conditioned rooms critizing those trying to survive. [I bet your a/c is working...and you have running water to flush your toilet....and you flip on the switch and the light comes on...and you can pick up the phone and call someone. Nice, isn't it. But, I bet you would be a tad irritated if the a/c went off for an afternoon, or the plumbing stopped up and you sit waiting for the plumber, or the Internet services goes down, etc... Perspective.]

I agree - we're getting only part of the information right now and reason needs to prevail. But does seem to be taking a long time to get water to those folks on the bridge. FEMA director just said that the troops would be there Sunday - that's just too long to respond.

It isn't appropriate to compare sanitation of toilets during Super Bowl to this situation. I'm sure that lack of electricity affected waste management facilities.
