Just look at the flap over Katrina and Federal response. That sorely proves my point. And illustrates the dichotomy in ideals of people that were down there. Some chose to stay and wait out the storm and it's after affects, they prepared ahead of time, had arms, fuel, water, supplies etc and were good. Others were used to living off the largesse of the state and when the state was not there, they demanded it come from the federal government. And then the chose to milk that cow for all it was worth. More interestingly some thought it wise to go around and forcibly remove people from their homes and/or disarm them when they were perfectly safe in their environs. What's wrong with this picture? Patricia Konie is a poster child for this. I hope she sues the shit out of the State, city and agencies involved in her kidnapping, assault and robbery. Question is, will the lesson sink in?
