Maybe in each emergency every local community in America could have pills to hand out to everyone that would keep us all placidly leaving the response to our elected officials, so that we could continue on with our normal lives? That way the entertainment industry, the stock market, the airlines, our schools and industries and a myriad of other innocent victims could evade the high costs they are suffering today. Surely the business of America is business.

That way, too, we could avoid the pain.
