PROLOGUE:
My hear truly goes out to those suffering as California burns.
My husband lived there, and agrees that it is one of the nicest pieces of real estate on Earth.
This essay was originally a response, and got trashed as unsympathetic. It is not. But a comparison needed to be made here folks. Not all are rich and white, but one has to wonder if the response would be as quick in the slums or barrios of LA, as it is up in LaJolla, Del Mar, or San Diego.
This is about GWB’s administration, FEMA and the response.
My heart still bleeds for thousands in danger in California, but I still have to offer this food for thought.
