So it's powder-dry time. Glad I moved from CA to NC, where I can defend myself and have a good reason to do so.
No need to depend on these folk: I just feel bad for those who either won't or can't escape their clutches.
The emotion-laden sensationalism of the media is so hard to take, no wonder people want crises to just be over. I noticed that during Katrina. People didn't so much demand solutions as they wanted it off their TV's. How many red blood smears do we need to see on pavement? I just turn it off.
