Blackmoor Vituperative

I have learned several things from Hurricane Katrina:

1. When the government announces a mandatory evacuation, get the hell out of Dodge.
2. The federal government is just as incompetent at responding to a crisis as it is at everything else.
3. The National Guard should never leave American soil. They should be here to defend, protect, and serve Americans, not killing and getting killed by people halfway around the world so that we can save a few cents on a barrel on oil. (That’s what the Army and Marines are for.)
4. People are really, really stupid. Rather than learning anything useful from the Federal response to Katrina (see #2, for example), they seize on ridiculous conspiracy theories. I’d believe that the heads of FEMA and the Department Of Homeland Security were robots wearing humans skins before I’d give credence to the theory that the hurricane response was so embarassingly awful because most of the victims were black. Of course, the people who spout this nonsense are the same people who believe:
   1. that “global warming” exists,
   2. that it caused Hurricane Katrina,
   3. that human action is to blame for it,
   4. that we have to Do Something about it, and
   5. that we can Do Something about it.
5. Law-abiding people should always have a supply of weapons and ammuntion in watertight containers. Why? Looters.
