The Morning After

The Morning After...........................The last eight days have been a convoluted roiling mass of light and dark. Heroism, selflessness, sacrifice are words that come to mind time and time again. But so do stupidity, ineptitude and evil. Out government (NOTE; don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for the asshole). Disaster response and preparedness, are separate and different animals. Preparedness starts at the bottom or local level, and works up. And there is little people outside N.O. and the state of LA can do about the government that did prepare to get the people without transport out of the city. But the disgraceful and disturbing cluster-fuck that was and is the response of Homeland Security and FEMA has to be addressed. It was put succinctly this morning; put people before procedure.
