205. I agree
I don't understand this personalized reaction. These absolutes are unnecessary because no intelligent person would actually assume absolutes and ascribe guilt absolutely and across the board, bottom to top. Blame goes top to bottom, simple. But it is the blame that is the problem really.

Yes, also I do agree that people are looking for someone to blame. That is unfortunate, why they should be looking for is:

1). Why these agencies were gutted
2). Why these agencies were stuffed with cronies
3). Where the money has gone/been assigned to in the last 5 years
4). Criminal negligence, because we are still a nation of justice and rule of law, accountability is key in that type of society.
5). Why the right is waging a full scale PR campaign (with public dollars) instead of waging a full blown rescue and clean up campaign with donated funds.
6). Why ARC and other organizations are turning away donations of food, supplies, clothing and such and requesting only funding.
7). Why the dead are being covered and the living are being shipped about and kept like criminals.

Those are the issues to discuss. Blame is a PR talking point that is not productive.
