Read this, a few minutes ago:

"Three congressmen have introduced a bill requiring state and local disaster preparedness plans to include provisions for evacuating household pets and other animals. They claim that people refused to evacuate in order to stay with their dogs, cats and other critters. "I cannot help but wonder how many more people could have been saved had they been able to take their pets," said Rep. Tom Lantos, D-California."


The idiocy in this country scares me.

Yeah, save the puppies and the puppy-people. That's REAL important to focus on right now. Out of everything that went wrong, this is what people are putting their brain power into?

I agree, people should be able to bring their pets... but then what? People with allergies won't be able to get on the bus or stay at the shelters? How about we pass a law banning peanut butter in the shelters too? I know... here's a brain nugget... how about we pass a law banning all men from the shelters... you know, there were a lot of women who didn't want to risk being raped.

How about just focusing on actually getting the people out of harms way who DO want the help? Maybe, pass a law requiring all nursing homes have enough buses to move residents in the event of an emergency?
