Disaster Preparation

As much as I hate Bush, if he's somehow responsible for this disaster, so are all of us.

Do people depend on you? Do you have a disaster plan for them? If you think you could react perfectly to any situation on the spur of the moment, you are wrong. Keeping a cool head and acting without hesitation won't suddenly give you a supply of fresh water.

If being unprepared for some random catastrophe makes you responsible for the damage done by that event, then we are responsible for everything around us. What, you saw a diabetic having a blood sugar crash and you didn't give him insulin? You didn't have any insulin on you? You loser, you know about diabetes, it's your fault. What, that guy fell from the roof and you didn't have a mattress for him to fall on? Why not? There's a mattress place only a few blocks away, and you could afford a mattress. You screwed up! You're responsible for that guy going splat.

Anyway, it just doesn't work. Everyone in government might have made mistakes, but I'm not sure we can assign blame.

I still hate Bush though.
