I hope I don't get religious with you but there are things we can not control and somethings we can control. Nature is a powerful force and should never be second quessed. No matter how the local, state and federal government plans for emergencies...human nature will dictate its outcome. The left are saying we can not control the out come of a natural disasters how can we be protected by a terrorist attack? Homeland Security attached to Fema is a failure. They're not helping the matter by being Americans first and have empathy for the victims of this hurricane. They're most interested in nit picking Bush. I'm sure there's been bad hurricanes before. We use to say it was act of God but not anymore. It dawn on to me how the left are morally bankrupt. They take a delight seeing people suffer to get back at people they don't like. They are blinded by their hatred. They can't look at the world around them. It's all about politics to disprove Bush. I'm sure typhoons were pretty bad out in the Pacific but they don't get reported. I live Illinois and for couple of years we had a rash of tornados. This year its real quite! People also forget the 95' Chicago Heat Wave which killed 700 people. Mostly poor elderly black people who didn't have any air conditioners. They sealed themselves inside their apartments. They didn't dare open a window or the hoodlums would enter.
Every winter we hear about house fires in the South Side of Chicago because the poor people heat their homes with electric heaters or oven stoves. The Federal and State has emergency supplies of natural gas to take care of them but it seems it never gets to them. I always hear about devastating fires that kill score of little children on the news. It's been happening for years with no solutions. I expect next year with the oil and nature gas shortages they will be politically expendable.
Interesting points.
I totally agree with the fact that Moral Bankruptcy is at the root of the misery here.
People don't pull together. Christian morals are a thing of the past. The moral are so outnumbered by the "entitled" that when trouble starts the good opt for self defence.
Moral of the story here is: Don't ever do ANYTHING, ANYTHING the Government tells you to do. You may end up dead in a bus without SNOWBALL.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. There are so many things that are out of the hands of people. I know that people can only do so much in trying times. It is hard for me to see when things are unprepared and obviously in an aftermath like Katrina when events unfold that show response is sorely lacking. (from local, state, or federal levels) It's frightening because I wonder what can happen to us if an event occurs that's NOT a natural disaster. What if we had to evacuate a city VERY quickly because of a nuclear bomb threat? It obviously can't be done. That's scary, and that's where my frustration comes from. Plans have to be better laid. Everywhere.
The hardest part to deal with obviously is when human beings use these trying times to their personal or political advantage. It's sickening. It's hard to get past and hard to see past. But we have to because of all the people out there who need help and who are hurting. The left would rather take this act of God (and these truly are) and turn the blame onto this Adminstration in an attempt to write a disaster into its legacy simply because of blind hatred.
The same way they would sacrifice thousands of Iraqi lives by pulling the troops out early just so they could say "See, Bush was wrong" and be able to write it into the history books. It's not the human life that matters, it's the hatred for one man. You can read with every sentence they write in their blogs.
No matter what the outcome of this hurricane Rita, something about it will be wrong. There will be something for them to blame on the Administration and President Bush specifically.
Meanwhile, I will be mourning losses, worrying about the people left without homes, wondering if all the animals are safe, and hoping people will be able to rebuild their lives.
