Before FEMA , how on earth ever did communities and individuals survive?

It's the old 'If Big Gubamint is good, Bigger gubamint will be great!'

Individuals and communities that choose to rely on others may eventually find that they will oft if not always be disappointed.

Well, that is a wunderful wish, really. Perhaps when the fed gov'ment gives me a cafeteria menu to decide what agencies I want to contribute my tax dollars to, I will expect nothing from FEMA. But, for now, this has not been offered to me.
