What a wonderful success story.

The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has proven that self-organization
among individuals and small groups acomplished a lot more than
"organized" top-down big government. In times of crisis, where
flexibility and ingenuity is much needed when every seconds counts,
bureaucracy and protocol should be thrown by the way side.
