Some have proposed that the reason the New Orleans Disaster caught everyone (but especially the Feds) "flat-footed" was that in the wake of a poor response, the central government could proclaim martial law and ask for even more power?

Braced for the next Holocaust

Thu Jan 27, 2005 at 08:27:15 AM PDT

My parents survived the Holocaust. I will not go into the details of their story, but they left me an oral legacy.

Growing up I always was warned, "This is how it begins."
