Most have not offered one shred of intelligent discussion other than to point the finger at Bush. Most all the rest blame the Feds for LA's own failures. It is a mess, and virtually no planning was done to avert this disaster. I'd wager that not one drill has taken place, and not one assessment was made BEFORE the storm was imminent.
That's the reality....
Now for some intelligent discussion...I'm going to chat with the fourth graders tomorrow about area assessments of their community, and what they can do to help. I'm sure I'll get better responses thatn "Bush hasn't told me how to act yet!!", or "FEMA didn't give us money to do it yet!!" Oddly enough, many communities are eager to an assessment done on their capabilities, shortcomings, and strengths. After all, it's free (other than man hours), it's good for the community, and MOST Army CA units are more than happy to assist local cities and towns instead of routine AT, they get to do their actual CA work for once.
I'M DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY FROM AN ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS FAILED AMERICANS REPEATEDLY WHILE YOU EXCUSE ANOTHER OF THEIR FAILURES.
