19. It is necessary to point fingers because the cowardly cons did not level
with us. Cons must state their purpose, plainly, without rhetoric, excuses, blames, and lies. They must explain, candidly why the federal government did not respond in the capacity it has responded to other disasters, and *why it turned away help*.

They must explain, candidly, whether the cons took the worst disaster in most of our lifetimes as an opportunity for an "object lesson" on how inadequate the federal government is in helping in disasters, so the citizens of this country would "see the light" and demand privatization.

If so, cons must explain why the great cost of human suffering and needless death was acceptable to meet their ends. Explain in plain English, flat out without excuses, why this is not a monumental crime against humanity.

They must explain these things to We, STILL the People. If they are so confident in their ideals, and if they are so confident their actions were constitutional, they should be happy to explain it truthfully, without rhetoric, without generalities and without excuses.
