The Colorado disaster like all others proves the crucial role government. How would the rescues be working if only the churches and corporation were the ones left to help rescue people. We still have a lot o anti government teabaggers in the afflicted areas. Yet they needed a federal helicopter to remove them from the disaster zone.
We cannot have a viable nation if we continue to view the government as evil. To say it should be small, limited and barely local in these times is complete insanity.

(24,135 posts)last night.... the scroll down at the bottom of the screen listed how many government type vehicles were used to rescue people and animals. A lot was used - helicopters rescued as many people in CO as during Katrina. The National Guard was very visible in many parts of CO including the county that want's to split from our beautiful state.
