Comment My god. (Score 3, Insightful) 1594
I read some of the comments here now and then to get a good laugh or learn something from someone working in the field the article is about. Today I see this news piece, and I glance over the information. The first thing I notice is that the news bit is full of terminology that is bias and unnecessary:
"In a stealth maneuver" - How stealth is release on slashdot?
"encourage the President to declare federal martial law." - What with free votes and cookies?
"With one cloaked swipe of his pen," - What is this? A novel? This isn't news...
"Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions." - And this I presume this is based of The President's personal statements?
This is not a news article. This is total crap. Facts presented in opinion and filled with biased wording should not be considered news.
Next, I noticed the responses to the article. Normally there are intelligent or at least semi-intelligent responses. That doesn't seem to be the case here. Most of the responses that I have read that are rated at 3 or higher, are retarted. Is slashdot's community full of fools who only aspire to be like the people they read about in the science and technology articles? I swear that some of the posts gave the impression that the poster needs serious therapy. Think before you post. Comparing Hilter and President Bush...
What do I get from this article? I see that for more than 5 months after Hurricane Katrina hit in the south, The President was unfairly bashed for the total failure of the local governments in the disaster area. They failed to ask the president for assistance from the Active Military until far to late in the disaster. I see a plan to solve that problem in allowing The President (not just Bush, the law will still be there during Democrat Presidencies) to send the troops in to aid in the disaster recovery without having to wait for the incompetent local leaders to ask for it.
As for the article mentioned in the first response, I see a plan to house some 400,000 people in the event that a second Hurricane Katrina style event were to occur. I see a plan to quickly evacuate masses to a safe location where they may have to live for an indefinate amount of time. I see a plan to hopefully prevent a future occurance of what happened during Katrina.
How can you be so cynical as to take both of these forward movie plans, and turn them around and compare them to Hitler? Do you have a better plan for moving half a million disaster refugees to some or multiple other locations in the United States? Do you have a better plan for overcoming the possible incompetence of local government officials when a natural disaster or other event occurs and extra policing is required? I would like to hear your plans or more positive advice and less hatred and bashing. This is a community of nerds, not a community of fools. Voicing your opinion is great, but if its in the negative at least voice a better method. Help the world don't waste oxygen (well, finger strength).
