Oh, and Y2K really did crash every computer world-wide.
We should stop debating the libs' talking points and totally refuse their premise. I don't think protection against hurricanes is the job of the federal government. This should be done at the local level. That would be New Orleans in this instance, who did not believe it needed to improve its levees or build a sea wall SINCE ITS INCEPTION!
Looking for government to help in every eventuality is the specialty of the libs. Let's not play by their rule book.
