I don't disagree. However, for DT to state that this is not my America, and that to not be better prepared is inexcusable is just a bit dramatic.
It is pretty obvious that a great many people knew this was a possibility. Hell, I lived there ten years ago and people knew it. So, why weren't we better prepared? Good question, and one that probably won't ever be fully answered, but will be analyzed pretty heavily.
I guess I'm not as suprised as others that we weren't prepared for this. Yes, we knew it was a distinct possibility, but would we realistically prepared for such a catastrophic event, and stayed at the ready to deal with it? Not likely. Better prepared, yes. Prepared? No way in hell.
