Was every single road in West Texas closed under penalty of fine and a year in prison, or was only the interstate closed?

You’re taking all this rather hard, it seems. So defensive of excessive governmental edict.

Is this some sort of petty provincialism thing for you? You’re from Mass? Sounds like it.

This is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan after a recent severe snow storm: (2010)

Up here in the Northern part of Michigan we just recovered from a weather event of Biblical proportions – a historic blizzard of up to 44 inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to tens of thousands.

Obama did not come.

FEMA did nothing.

No one howled for the government.

No one blamed the government.

No one even uttered an expletive on TV.

Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.

Our Mayors did not blame Obama or anyone else.

Our Governor did not blame Obama or anyone else either.

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit – or even report on this category 5 snow storm.
