This save-yourselves approach comes after government agencies were overwhelmed by pleas for help after last year's storms and strongly criticized as not responding swiftly or thoroughly enough to the public need.It's official.
It must be, it's coming from the government:
We can't protect you. You're responsible for taking care of yourself.
What a novel concept!
And when TSHTF,for real and for good, you'll find out whether you got the stuff,allright. After I got parked at the end of a jungle runway,in VN,about a click and a half from a firebase, with no radio,no extra ammo,and no extra water,at the tender age of 19,I figured out that I better watch out for my own ass,and stop waiting for Uncle Whiskers to remember. Later, I read about Wake Island, Corrigedor,Bataan,and the USS Indianapolis. Yup, Uncle reaaaallly cares a lot about his brave warriors. Lessen they get captured,surrounded, or in some kind of trouble. I used to be disgusted, now,I'm only amused.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quote that should be tattooed on every knuckle headed GFW's head.
ReplyDelete"Now, officials have said repeatedly, only the elderly, the poor and the disabled should count on the government to help them escape a hurricane or endure its immediate aftermath."
Is that clear enough?
You are expected to fend for your self in the event of the S hitting the fan.
I can't tell you how many times I have heard from liberals that it is paranoid to prepare for disasters. How "it" will never happen (whatever it may be, riot, flood, disease, etc.) Further, if "it" does happen the Gov. will be there to bail our sorry buts out of trouble.
I guess a bigger cluebat is needed.
Last time Americans were in a major disaster, protecting yourself got you tackled on national television by the fuzz.
