You are learning lessons right now. The things you are reading about in this thread will be remembered by you, some time in the future.

There will come a time in your life when "self reliance" and "personal responsibility" are no longer concepts to be argued as philosophical devices in a political conversation. You will come to know them as reality, not concepts.

You'll remember this thread. And maybe someday you can pass these lessons on to someone else who has yet to understand them.

And a big swing and a miss. You've been missing the point repeatedly for a few pages now. To watch you continue, at this point, is impressive.

Go on. I'm listening.

Chik-fil-A feeding stranded drivers in Birmingham, AL........ LINK.......as the bee-hive residents in ATL complain that the national guard didn't get there early enough with tax-payer bought gruel and MRI's.........

“We cooked several hundred sandwiches and stood out on both sides of 280 and handed out the sandwiches to anyone we could get to – as long as we had food to give out.”

The staffers braved the falling snow and ice and Chick-fil-A refused to take a single penny for their sandwiches.

The meal was a gift – no strings attached.

I didn't say it wouldn't happen in Atlanta. IN fact, I wrote earlier about all the private Churches there opening their doors to help people.

And maybe people are bitching in Brimingham and other places too, but............all you hear on the news and radio right now are people blaming the mayor/gocvernor/national guard/ whoever for what happened in Atlanta........


It's embarrassing.

The government should be on the ball when it comes to things like these. But citizens should not just assume the government will be. Each person should evaluate their own situation and do what they believe is best for them, rather than waiting on the government to do something for them.

I operate under the assumption that the tasks the government should not be responsible for (but take control of anyway) will not be executed effectively, if at all, and that it is up to me to make sure my family is safe and provided for, both in times of emergency and calm.

God forbid the people in charge of the city accept any responsibility and admit that they fricked up in preparation.

What preparation did Kaseem frick up, other than not making an announcement?

Yeah, and it was FEMA's fault NOLA was hit by Katrina. They should've somehow reshaped the coast to make it more like Jacksonville's.

What? We knew snow was coming as early as Sunday. GDOT trucks weren't mobilized until Tuesday when they should have been sent out Monday night. Schools and businesses were all released/closed at the same time. This is something that could have been prevented, plain and simple.

Not mobilizing GDOT the night before like he should have. He admitted that they didn't think Atlanta would get the brunt of the storm, when other projections said otherwise. The roads were not pre-treated to the extent they should have been.
