So you (and I) say. But the president specifically stated ZERO tolerance without any disclaimers. I guess I was just taken aback by this statement.

The inability of some people to actualize a situation truly amazes me. Have you seen the pictures and plight of the 20,000 people who "did what they were told" and wound up in the Superdome?

Well hopefully we at least agree on that. I'm not trying to nitpick, but "zero" tolerance does not make this distinction. It implies if help does not arrive in time, I guess you die, sorry. This was really my only point.
