But the whole point on this is that folks should stop blaming the victims (and we have had plenty of this) whether it is NOLA or SoCal or the next disaster.
That is the whole damn point
The enemy, and yes, there is an enemy, is not our fellow americans, but the people who currently have their paws on the levers of power and who will NOT let go.
