Hurricane relief
"Jonathan Goodish" wrote in message
... I do expect folks to take care of themselves when they're able, and I expect private charity to take care of those who are not able. ... It sounds cold, but the federal government should have very little to do with a relief effort such as the one along the gulf coast. You think rescue from a widespread natural disaster should be left to *private charity*? And if the charities are not up to the task, should the victims just be left to die in the streets? Do you acknowledge *any* legitimate domestic purpose of government, apart from subsidizing the recreation of private pilots? (Virtually every right-wing aviator who posts here is in favor of continued government intervention to prevent market forces from converting airport real estate to more profitable uses.) --Gary |
