"Allowing the incompetency of Blanco and Nagin to cost lives in the interest of local automomy is not an acceptable response."

Then we'll just agree to disagree. IMO, demanding absolute power by any grifter who manages to buy an election to the Oval Office is unacceptable due to the potential consequences, which can be easily and accurately projected by looking at recent history combined with human nature. I refuse to demand a future Hitler, Castro, Mussolini, Stalin, Mugabe, Saddam or Chaves running this country to save lives which may never be in danger to begin with....unless from that future Hitler, Castro, Mussolini, Stalin, Mugabe, Saddam or Chaves.

I refuse to subject my children and grandchildren to such probable atrocities just because I thought it might save their life because they were too dependent and brain dead to try saving themselves during some possible, POSSIBLE catastrophe.

Anyone who thinks the government can run your life better than you can should emigrate to DPRNK, Cuba, Venezuela or any of a few dozen other countries where the gubmint makes all the decisions for the citizens. We don't need to turn our own country into yet another one.

Get off your moral high horse. I don't want any of things either nor do they logically follow from what I said. I believe the federal government must act to save the lives of American citizens during a major crisis like Katrina. Bureaucratic fault finding doesn't save lives and is not an acceptable explanation.
