RE: No Clue
Nope, your not getting out of this one by twisting words and claiming that I "read too much into what you said".
You plainly said, "Thousands of people hadn't the wherewithal to get up off their butts and leave the city, they sat around and waited for the government to do something for them."
I don't know any other way to take that statement other than the way I interpreted it.
The government's job is to take care of it's citizens. Who else is going to assist these folks if not FEMA? You sure can't leave that one up to private industry!
I am so distraught over the events of this week that I am libels to say something I'll regret so I'm trying to reel it in a bit. But how you can make such ridiculous statements about the role of our government is beyond me.
Oh, and by the way, I encounter people every day who deny the degree of poverty we have in this country. Some of them are right here on the 'ol BP! You claim I don't have any answers to end poverty; let's hear yours. I've expressed mine over and over again on this blog and they're brushed aside. I said that the current administration is too worried about big business and taking care of the wealthy in this country to even notice the poor. When was the last time the issue of poverty was at the forefront in a political platform? LBJ, maybe? I have lots of ideas about how to employ people in this country, and my ideas are called socialism by people like you.
