Is it possible that FEMA was under orders to be part of the problem rather than part of the solution? Or, at least, set up deliberately so that it could ONLY be part of the problem? I mean, FEMA used to help people, under a Democratic administration.

More to the point, I'd personally like to see people starting talking about how the Department of Homeland Security turned back trucks, refused aid, and kept people from evacuating the city, rather than FEMA. 'Cause FEMA, right now, is part of DHS, so I like to think of this as the Department of Homeland Security, not FEMA. When FEMA was its own agency, it didn't act like this. Therefore, this is DHS.

It's hard to avoid having them, these days.... and I resent a government that's turned me into a conspiracy theorist (so far, I've been wrong only in *under*estimating the scope and enthusiasm of their evil).

Sign me up to live in your soapbox. I like the way you think.

I deeply resent the way this administration makes me feel like a nutbar conspiracy theorist
