Carter's Mom .... I think I read the post you're referring to ... I dismissed it as your just not having time to word it the way you meant it and thought no more about it. I believe that "finger pointing", blame and all the other critical crap surrounding this tragedy is ridiculous! The only thing that needs to be done ... as soon as is practical ... is to assemble those in charge and have a good "critique session"!! That's what is done after real "disaster drills" and that's what is needed in this instance!! I have been a part of many, many of these and there is nothing more valuable ... this is where all the "glitches" are addressed and ironed out and incorporated into a plan that prevents all these horrible things from being repeated! A perfect "plan" isn't worth the paper it's written on unless it implemented!!! And a really good plan that is laid out by all involved, i.e., police, fire depts., paramedics, first responders, hospitals, ER docs & nurses, etc., is worth it's weight in gold and practiced over and over so as to avoid that which we have seen happen during these hurricane's!

I think the anger, criticism, etc. that you have received in "cyberworld" is a perfect example of the mess surrounding this tragedy ... those who got mad, those who "left" were just looking for a reason anyway! You just happened to be the one who made a post that provided them the "excuse" and others through their ignorance provided fuel for the fire!!

This is my opinion and I would hope that this could be taken as such ... anyone who has taken the time to read your posts on this forum, know that you are a good, caring, sincere person.
