Thanks for this post!

No doubt about it,Ridge is the MAN!

The re-arranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic is in his hands!

He will be making any choices prioritizing which disaster gets any help!

Which infrastructure can be saved!

Which village will be burned to save it!

When I see guys in space suits with flame throwers,I will dutifully thank the President and the Congress of the United States of America!

Oh, please, post the names of those that were on the commission that created this baby that Congress then delivered!

Gary Hart and Warren Rudman were the chairs, but look who is in the commission:

The way I look at it, more government always means less freedom- no two ways about it.

In the hands of a benign administration ( like I hope this on will be ), it will probably be more of an oversight group.

In the hands of, say hillary!.... oh, my! The potential for totalitarianism!

But it's one more tax-guzzling layer of bureaucrats we do not need. IMHO.
