Sure, but sometimes that comes as a shock. That takes time to
internalize and a few times asking for confirmation to get to the point
that 'yes, they really mean this'.
Sort of along the same line: I saw same images from Katrina today.
Apparently the city council of New Orleans neglected looking after it's
levee's. That also took some time before I could really believe that.
How can something be of lesser importance than preventing 'natural'
disasters? Well, getting re-elected probably is. Why you would re-elect
someone who is knowingly taking risks with your life is beyond me.
Though adequate control of the media might do the job. Time to quote a
French king: Après moi, le déluge.
