The nanny state has produced a class of people who cannot function on their own. They have no sense of, or desire to accept personal responsibility for their own welfare, safety or preparedness.
It was shattering to witness the rugged individual American who once was, but now denigrated into what I witnessed in a major disaster. I have again been forewarned and proved to me, depend on no one but yourself for all you and yours needs in emergencies. If I then fail, I have no one to blame but myself, for the government cannot possibly be of assistance for days, if not weeks or months after the event.
I would like to say something please.
I find it disturbing that the President has to oversee Hurricanes and weather related problems, due the incompetence of crack head Mayors and Governors. I think President should have stepped back a little during Rita why should the press dictate what he does. I hope next time he leves it to the elected useless officials of the state!
