From Boing Boing: http://www.boingboing.net/2011/05/25/kansas-city-star-tor.html

"An editorial in the Kansas City Star yesterday makes some interesting points about responding to short-term disasters, preparing for long-term disasters, and problem of money."

Kansas City Star: Tornado response shows it's time to re-think the way we run America

"House Republicans are starting to demand that disaster relief funds be balanced with cuts in other areas of federal spending, essentially using human tragedy to advance their political agenda. One suggestion is that we should cut a program encouraging the production of more fuel efficient cars, a program brought about by economic and long-term national security concerns."

1. Not to mention that fuel efficient cars will contribute less to global climate change

which might be a relevant topic right about now.
