Totally understandable your thinking I was alluding to New Orleans, or any other current political absurdities so daily prevailing here in: "Weirdsville USA", for that matter.

Hell Man, and whether Warfare, Safety & Security, Borders, Court Appointments, and even Natural Disasters, most all such problems usually get politically filibustered or BS'd to death,..INSTEAD of ever being resolved favorably for The American People.

Resolved favorably for some politicians, foreigners, zealots and other oddities,...of course. But, that's another story.

Damn-it-all, I now fully understand why most foreigners worldwide consider US (both ways) pretty-much a naive (some say: "Nationally-suicidal and quite laughable") lot. Given about a-half-century of absurd political realities,...I must sort-of-agree with most of such foreigners, even though most certainly not laughable at all to me.

I sort of agree with foreigners since our ruling elite of whatever bent, and especially the real fanatically staunch ideologues are truly and unarguably a quite foolishly: "Nationally-suicidal" lot.
Such, just cannot be denied and/or that such fools act so merely to achieve political gain, and like most show-biz nonsense try showing how fair America can be TO MOST EVERYONE ON EARTH (The American Citizen/Taxpayer excluded). Truly amazing!!!

Yeah, sure. According to ruling elite America will remain the fairest and most open nation in The World,...even to its death. What an utter nonsensical form of rule. Maybe a disclaimer like: "DEMOCRACY CAN BE HAZZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH" should be posted around and all over?

Whatever, most all: "UN-Connected" and/or the vast majority of Americans NOT journalists, politicians or zealots most definitely aren't suicidal,...and are more wisely into SURVIVAL ABOVE ALL ELSE. The sane vast majority realize full-well that being politically-incorrect and alive, is infinitely much better than being politically-correct to the end,...and dead.

It's truly too bad that America's ruling elite, journalists and zealots can't also be just as sensible and wise as average man (woman also) on the street.
America's longevity might then be better assured?

Regardless,...hope We stay lucky since luck ALL We have going for US (both ways),...to date.
