Published: April 4, 2009

We don't see looting. We don't see street violence. We don't see people sitting on their rooftops waiting for the government to come and save them.

We don't see people waiting on the government to do anything. We don't see Hollywood organizing benefits to raise money for people to rebuild.

We don't see people blaming President Barack Obama. We don't see people ignoring evacuation orders.

We don't see people blaming a government conspiracy to blow up the levees as the reason some have not held.

We don't see the U.S. senators or the governor of North Dakota crying on TV. We don't see the mayors of any of these cities complaining about the lack of state or federal response. We don't see or hear reports of the police going around confiscating personal firearms so only the criminals will be armed.

We don't see gangs of people randomly shooting at rescue workers. You don't see some leaders in this country blaming the bad behavior of the North Dakota flood victims on society.
