Well, I'm hearing more and more people calling for the heads of various agencies because of gross mismangement of the NOLA disaster. The heads of FEMA and DHS for example. And of course, Bush himself goes without saying.
I think that's a misguided thought. I don't believe that FEMA or DHS will *ever* be capable of reacting appropriately to large-scale disasters or catastrophic events. THEY ARE GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE BEAUROCRATS. THEY ARE SLOW AND INEFFECTIVE. PERIOD.
So, don't call for the replacement of director this and head of that. Call for the dismantlement and abolition of FEMA and DHS. Use the US military in thier role when needed. The military is not a beaurocracy. (well, ok, parts of it are, but the parts that get stuff done are NOT)
Write your congressman today. Call for the abolition of FEMA and DHS. They do nothing for us, and cost us quite a lot.

Now there's an original idea. I'd love to dismantle more of governmen than just those, but it would be a nice start.
