"The welfare state--and the brutish, uncivilized mentality it sustains and encourages--is the man-made disaster that explains the moral ugliness that has swamped New Orleans. And that is the story that no one is reporting."
How many natural disasters have we had that required armed troops to suppress the violence before we could provide aid?
