"It all gets back to local and state governments NOT BEING PREPARED. "

No, it all gets back to people not bothering to prepare themselves. This morning on Fox, people were whining that they had to wait in lines for water. It's only been two days since Wilma hit. These people couldn't fill some containers with water before the storm hit? They couldn't stock up on canned goods before the storm hit? They couldn't fill their cars up with gasoline before the storm hit? Why should it be up to the government? Must the government also hold their hands when they go take a leak?

Then, a short while later, another person they interviewed said that the Publix stores were open in most areas, and that they had food, water, and other supplies.

I guess it's just not the same unless Nanny Government gives it to you...

Why should it be up to the government?

I'd bet money most of these people were the ones we saw on TV before the storm saying "Heck, no, I'm not leaving."

Frankly, I'm tired of hearing from them and about them.

This is one of two or three areas where Fox is no better than the MSM. They just love these poor pathetic dopes that are not prepared.
