... in response to New Orleans Outrage of the Day, posted by Pete E on Sep 20, 2005... some of the scariest words known are, "I'm from the Federal Government, and I'm here to help you"...
This sort of thing has been happening quite a bit in the past couple of weeks, FEMA and Homeland Security interfering and preventing the sort of help that people have traditionally given each other in times of need. Many incidents have been documented, and what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
