"How can you have the mess we have in New Orleans, and not have had deep investigations of the federal government, the state government, the city government, and the failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn't get out of the way of a hurricane." (emphasis mine)
Comments, anybody? I'm just at a total loss for words, here.

Y'know, I'm plenty educated and uber-prepared for anything, but the lack of a car, credit cards, and a place to go made it kind of difficult to evacuate.
And how about the failure of citizenship that caused groups of us to clear the streets, set up a mash unit, bring food water and meds to those who needed it, and wander the neighborhoods armed in order to protect each other. Bad citizens, indeed. I guess we should have starved/died of thirst/been shot by crackheads while waiting for our government to step in, instead.
ARRRRRRGH!
Bunnies, fluffy clouds, kittens. Okay, I feel better now.
I swear that if another Republican gets elected I'm going to emigrate.
