The US government's approach can be likened to a starving man refusing a
stale loaf of bread, and demanding a fresh-baked French baguette instead,
even if the stale loaf is all that will be available until /after/ he dies
of starvation.

The US government was very happy (just like after Katrina) to allow
bureaucratic demands and arbitrary rules to override public safety and
common sense.

I stand corrected.


Personally, I find the pink to be distracting. Maybe it's an acquired
taste...
