They just DIDN'T get it. They are sooo wrapped up in their twisted corporate view of the world that they are CLUELESS as to how WE THE PEOPLE are reacting. Guess what... we have EMPATHY.

You and I have cried a river. B*shco chose not to support the rivers levees... by almost 50%. He was strumming the guitar at the time.

The war in IRAQ is the REASON this aftermath debacle happened. We all know it. Your Freeper-friends (why are they still friends???) Will tell you why..... but 90% of us KNOW.

1. they are sociopaths
They don't have empathy. They think everything is some machination for political purposes. They don't understand simple things like sympathy.

8. that's an underassessment I think
I think borderline and full-blown sociopaths account for about a quarter of the population. The worst cases, of course, comprise the very minority - thank heavens.

3. Most people can think "that could be me" which is why the
Abu-Ghriab (sp?) pictures had such an effect on normal people.

4. I think you are right
Those killed by the hurricane would have happened so fast that the message could have been managed. When they say they did not know the levvees would break, I think they are just saying it didn't jive with their plans.

What THEY got were pictures of their abject failure. People were actually trying to survive - how dare they. There just could nto have been any serious attempt to rescue the people planned in advance of the hurricane.

They only listen to other people as sick as they are and forget there is an entirely different species in this country.

6. Underestimated the indominable spirit of the American People.
So much for the compassionate conservatives, huh?

Peace.
