The FEMA trailers are used as relatively long-term housing when people have returned to their hometowns and need a place to live while they rebuild or find new housing. They aren't first-response shelters. As I noted earlier, people are still living in FEMA trailers in Florida since Hurricane Charlie last year.

Sounds like you are on the same wavelength as Barbara Bush

" Barbara Bush said today, referring to the
poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them.""
I suppose the poor will be discouraged from remaining in Texas... after all, that could really tilt the demographic come next election...
Better just to pile them into cramped quarters until you can convience most of them to leave...
I'm seeing your point

Is it too much to believe?
Turning away help, coming down on pilots and crew of ships that pick up survivors because that wasn't their orders? Turning away firefighters from other states, because this is a FEMA operation?
When is the 'United States Police Force' gonna be formed, tomorrow? Military control of the whole shebang, that's what I see.

it gives me a pretty strong inpression that you might be in the "evil plan" camp.
911: "we had no way of stopping it"
WMD's: "we had intel indicating their existence"
Katrina: "no one could have predicted it"
I'm not saying they have horns on their heads, but they obviously don't give enough of a shit to want to do their jobs in protecting us effectivly. Or, in a darker scenerio, they're all just dirt stupid, and maybe a little psychotic.
Try as I might to be diplomatic, EVERY thing I see infuriates me more. Barbara Bush was the last straw. I don't believe I'm way out there in my understanding of the political agendas the drive the present leaders of this country.
This madness is yours.
You have no idea what I wanted to post here Chrisisall, trying like all heck to be civil

in response-
so when did liking God and being conservative come to mean that i like/ worship the ground Bush walks on?
there are social and economic conservatives out there who deal with the federal government one issue at a time- doing their best to keep personalities out of it. as in i won't smash hilary for not divorcing bill if you stop saying that Bush is a horrible person "just because"
this is politics guys and the sad fact of the matter is that if we let it divide us too much the smaller fractions will get stepped by the mass followers of the two party system.
i still love everyone 
but sometimes i'd rather believe that it's possible for someone to like me not depending on my politics.

I consider the madness yours. Post what you like. It can't be any worse than the insults, innuendo, mis-guided assumptions, and calumnies your cohorts have tossed at me previously.

I, for one, despise politics. The whole idea that you should choose a 'side' and back them blindly is ridiculous to me. Each issue should be handled according to it's urgency, and it's ability to be addressed.
The real emotion seems to kick in when someone put in authority gets people killed, then it's not just a game of who controls what, or where money should be allocated.
To me, if someone likes Bush because of an idea that he is a caring man, I can still deal with them on many levels.
If they think he is a caring man after knowing all the facts, the number of dead in his wake is hard to remove from the picture.
I would similarly have a hard time being friends with someone who beat his wife, no matter how nice he seemed in public.
It's not politics, it's reality.
Now worshiping God, I got no problem with.

So how do we, in a country of 200 million plus, decide which issues are urgent, and their ability to be addressed? Internet chat rooms? Politics is an unfortunate companion of a representative democracy. If you can explain how to run one without politics, I'd be interested to hear.

I don't defend Bush about very much. I disagree with many of his policies and politics. Talk about reproductive rights, gender equality issues, the excessive influence of the religious right, and I'm on him like a pit bull. That stuff just never comes up here for some reason.
In the Katrina series of threads, all I've been saying is that, IMHO, the Federal Government does not bear all the onus for mistakes made - while acknowledging that mistakes were made - and that some other posters here are quite willing to rush to judgement before all, or even most, of the facts are in because of personal bias. Some get awful shrill about it and don't quibble at personal insult. Am I not supposed to respond to that? I'd like to keep it on a higer level, but some folk just get my goat. That failing I'll cop to.

Uhh, well,... then I take back that whole 'dope' thing then.
Just call me a non-meat eating tree-huggin' conspiracy-nut Chrisisall (w/a tin foil hat!)
