> You're probably right, and some of the stuff is mind boggling. Here is some desperately needed water, what only FEMA personel can unload the trucks? You won't be able to get to it for few days? Where was the person high up with some common sense and the cajones to say "you know what, screw it, give these people some water, I'll take the flack if it comes". And that same kind of thing over and over, it's infuriating.
Let's just hope that they've learned something from this and that it won't happen that way again.

Mine too because when I posted that I was thinking that 48% approved. I wasn't thinking about those who didn't have an opinion.
