Well, with the town under 10 ft. of water, it seems that nobody is shooting at rescuers or looting stores and neighborhoods--- and the Police haven't set up checkpoints to confiscate folks firearms.
Haven't been seeing people on TV wondering when the government is going to come and take care of them. The ones I've seen seem to take the attitude that they pitch in together and then start over from scratch, if need be, after loosing everyting.
Quite a contrast between Cedar Rapids and New Orleans, though the news media hasn't chosen to point that out. They haven't been criticizing FEMA, so maybe the Feds are doing their job this time.
And so far, no one has showed up from the government and told them they aren't strong enough to survive or handle things on their own.
Not saying there aren't lots of fine people in New Orleans who needed help, or who pitched in to help their neighbors. I'm just noting the contrast.
