AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!

You just DON"T GET IT!!!!

The problem many people, including me, are having with the pres and his 
peeps is that they are only responding NOW! Every climatologist, 
geologist, environmental planner and TV weatherman knew this was coming 
5 DAYS before it hit and absolutely nothing was done to prepare. THAT is 
why FEMA should not have been gutted the way it was. Far from learning 
from this mistake, however, the wingers are claiming this as further 
proof that FEMA doesn't work. Guess what, my car wouldn't work either if 
you took the wheels off! The Bush administration has once again 
displayed complete disregard for the researched conclusions of actual 
scientists. Then your boy has the RAW NERVE to come out and say "No one 
anticipated the breaching if the levees." I think what "W" meant to say 
was "No one listened."

Yes, the army does a better job of responding quickly in a crises, 
that's their job, and they are damn good at it. What they DON"T DO and 
SHOULD NOT DO is disaster preparedness planning. That is and MUST remain 
a civil responsibility.

The Army and Red Cross could not have possible moved any faster then 
they did once they were given the go ahead. The problem is that they 
should have been given to go ahead two days prior to the storm hitting. 
Trucks could have been loaded, supplies ordered. Materials moved from 
other states, all the prep work could have been done so all they folk on 
the ground had to do was start the trucks and move Tuesday morning.

But thank god, at least Trent Lott's beach house will be rebuilt even 
better then it was. I guess they were prepared for THAT!
