THINK! What was their motive? Why did they stop the Red Cross? Why didn't they let the aid trucks through? We don't have to guess, we know, they told us. They stopped the aid from going through because if conditions in the Superdome and the Convention Center improved, more people might be tempted to go there... and fewer would be inclined to leave. They explicitly wanted to prevent conditions from improving. That is DELIBERATELY MAKING THINGS WORSE.
Really, though, could it be the ultimate in beaurocracy? And we are seeing it in its mos evil form? So much red tape that even a truck can't pass through a checkpoint without documentii???
I find myself more and more making the comment under my breath, while waiting in line, or on hold, or dealing with DHS on something, "man, this is worse than in Russia"
It ain't pretty
