Author Topic: How would San Francisco cope? Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-09-2005 12:40 PM                     Condensation for Phil, directly from the Governor's Office: If you're in the wrong place at the wrong time you're pretty much fucked. Maria and I wish you the best of luck. Better?

Not really, they've just inherited these responsibilities along the way. The Second Amendment calls for a well-regulated militia among the states for the purpose of home defense until a national force can be dispatched to the area of conflict. The Founders envisioned that conflict to be a military campaign of some sort, not a humanitarian mission. In the years between the Civil War and World War I, when the state militias evolved into our current National Guard, there still wasn't much emphasis on helping people in need. Agreed, however, that FEMA needs some restructuring too. But once more the Federal Government was just as responsible for dropping the ball on this one as was New Orleans municipal and Louisianna state authorities were. FEMA doesn't need dismanteled, it just needs taken out of the Department of Homeland Security.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-09-2005 07:05 PM                  Thanks for you concern, Ron. But, I'm pretty pragmatic about all that disaster and dying stuff. What's meant to be will be...NO matter where you are. I just hope I ain't near you when it's YOUR turn to go... Likewise, Shawn and I wish you and yours "the best of luck" too.  |  IP: Logged
