Isn't it part of your "private life" if a Federal Agent - FEMA or otherwise - comes into your house and says, "You ARE leaving, and you're leaving RIGHT NOW - whether you like it or not."?


Again... I'm not defending FEMA, nor excusing their ineptitude in the New Orleans debacle. But what most people expect them to have done would have been micromanagement. And that is NOT building on the principles of the Constitution.
