[QUOTE="Ryan Schaecher, post: 706255, member: 56872"] 22 years ago, if this happened (which did in my town, just not quite this bad), the Governor would say, 'Well, that sucks. We'll help where we can. We'll take care of the search and rescue (which the neighbors would have already started) and other things like with the roads and utilities. I sure hope that you had insurance". Now it's all about the Fed's comming in and saving your ass. Personally, I'm not counting on the Fed's or any other Goberment agency to help me. It's my responcibility to take care of my family first and my neighbors second. The first stories that I heard that came out of Kansas were that people were praying during the 'nadoes, then when it was over, they got to work looking for anybody who needed help. Compare that to Katrina (yes, it's a LITTLE bit different)... the first stories you heard were about people getting pissy that the Goberment didn't get to them within minutes. I'm not sure where exactly "NATIONAL GUARD" says in their name DISASTER RECOVERY, but according to some, appearantly it's in there. I understand they have dozers, helicopters and medics. Most are trained in warfare first and foremost. It should also be noted that the Goberner of Kansas has a (D) next to her name, so it didn't really surprise me that she made such a bonehead statement like she did. I hope she realizes that most of the National Guard equipment that she pined for is US Goberment Property, not the property of the State of Kansas. Twit. [/QUOTE]
