Yep, the sides involved still see an opportunity for media attention. I'd say get rid of them all and let the people replace them... but that sorta started this whole governmental mess in the first place.
I actually read on one net board that someone believed the federal government should have no right to force states to do evacuations in situations like this. Well, gee, should we save a few thousand lives, or worry about protecting the idea of " states' rights" in these situations? I say if the state government is doing the wrong thing, let the federales step in and fix it.
Neither party can wholly be trusted anyway. One party picks a side, the other takes the opposite stance "publically", nothing changes.
And in lighter news, while most credit card companies and banks are willing to help the victims out in this situation, Chase is still demanding all credit card bills be paid on time. So, your house is gone, your bank and money are gone, but those kind souls at Chase are willing to forget this happened and move on.
