Reply #20: Uh, I'm the public too

So, when can I *display* my opinion? I'm paying attention, l.ived through more than a few hurricanes myself and see some horrific differences in this one from what I ever experienced---its nice to be upper middle class and white let me tell ya...National Guard was always there before things really got going!

"Bashing?" I think people are making specific criticisms not simply "bashing" as you say. The severity of the storm and the vulnerability of the city were understood. The local authorities knew how bad it was when the silly anchormen were on TV saying it was "dodged!" and you know the authorities were calling for help. So, I should shut up about that? Why? Because some DC Democrat might get nervous? Screw that---I'm in Texas where you need a spine to be a Democrat and a hard shell to be a liberal.

But, sport, I'm an American and I'll point out whatever I like whenever I like. I don't *follow* opinion, I form my own and speak out.
