No Don, what mostly can be found on Mudcat are people who hate any style of self improvement, particulary when it is offered by a group who doesn't want to take all your money through taxation and want to allow you to think for yourself.

This may not be the thread for this but, speaking of some Mudcat people, they seem to be in favor of ignoring many or perhaps all fact. Go check the longtime time schedule for FEMA. For many years they have also maintained a policy that afflicted area must be able to take care of itself for the first 72 to 96 hours. New Orleans was not prepared for the first 24 hours. The long time denigrated police department showed its' true colors by many quiting or simply not responding before Katrina hit landfall. As late as Saturday 9/03, the state government was still refuseing entry by qualified independant rescue people. She did make one good decision by hiring a former FEMA head, DeWitt, but of course acknowledging the fact that New Orleans and the State had no basic stste of preparedness.

Why not give this a rest based on two factors; The first being we have never experienced a disaster of this scale and complexity and "we" really don't know what has transpired.
I see where Putin got rid of his Submarine chief, lets' see if changes are made in the US.
