The Goodness of Plain Folk

Real Clear Politics has a "What Went Right?" essay on Katrina. Once again, we see the incredible goodness of regular Americans.

Despite being surrounded by government failures at every level, uniformed and civilian first responders spontaneously organized and saved literally thousands of lives.

Juxtapose this with the ennui of the French when confronted with the Parisian heatwave several years back. The malaise was palpable.

Merde.

I'm A Volunteer for an Area Rescue service, and The National Weather Service in Upper Michigan. In a Way I wish I could Be there to help with the disaster, but i'm working two jobs and going to school to make my own right now. I wish you all good luck on the clean-up and rebuilding of this problem.
