Reply #7: Rather than blame people, use the opportunity to explain why progressive

[1932]

values help not only in times of trouble, but always.

- Communal efforts (not social darwinism) have the most positive impact,
- Gov't spending on infrastructure and social services is never more clearly neccessary at a time like this, but for the same reasons it's important during disasters, it's important at every other time
- no skimming off the top during the rebuilding by corporations, please. Let's put as much money into the communty (and not into the pockets of connected privateers) as possible. And for the same reason this is important in N.O., it's important in, say, Baghdad.

I think that would be a greater indictment of Bush then some vague, "it's his fault" allegation.
