Fiction vs Reality
8th September 2016
There’s an old saying that the difference between Fiction and Reality is that Fiction has to be believable. Which implies that Reality doesn’t.
Good case in point the government and relief agency actions in Louisiana in the aftermath of the floods.
The government can’t provide enough boats to rescue people so citizens up and do the job themselves. The government then steps in and passes new regulations to prevent them from doing so until and unless they meet new government regulatory requirements sending out the police to prevent them from rescuing people until all requirements are met.
The Red Cross turning away and throwing away relief supplies because they do not meet with government mandated standards and rules.
