Well, duh! This is a lame attempt on the part of the media to paint contemporary American civilization as a poisonous society! Since mother nature isn't poisonous, for the most part, the only other source of the materials involved with this flooding is mankind, then it must be mankind who are poisoning the state of Iowa.
The media are set to paint mankind as the bad guy. It's called chaos, smart people! When you introduce chaos into a system, you have lost control of it and it is more likely to turn on you and KILL you. It's looking like D.C. is going to let these people rebuild on their own, and this is fine. When the Iowans and everyone else downstream of Iowa have finished rebuilding things, are they going to take notice in Washington and TRY to take credit for doing nothing? Let these Iowans rebuild, if they want to do so. It is THEIR land. Leave it to them to resolve their issues. FEMA, more than likely, has services in the area, but the media won't share any of THAT information with us in the rest of the country because it makes GWB look good, and the media DON'T need that to be happening right now. They can paint him admiringly AFTER he has left office, but there's still an election and knuckledraggers to influence, right?
