When PC considerations surpass the survival instincts - IN REAL LIFE, IN MINE

Last night I was at a community board meeting.

These are people I would depend on in a crunch. And I think the reverse is true.

It's a small community.

And so we come to FEMA.

One of the members of this board, was appointed to serve on the FEMA board. This gal has a high degree of professionalism, and excellent in pursuit of same. But it does not align with the functions of FEMA.

"FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards."

Her professional expertise is to improve the lives of people who cannot function as easily as others because they cannot hear well enough. She is EXTREMELY good at it. But that does not lend itself well to those functions which would save my rear end if a disaster occurred. Does it?

So why was she appointed? She plainly said it.

Because she is JEWISH.

They needed a jew, you see. And now you are asking yourself something. The answer is yes. The FEMA board has an Indian, an African American, a whatever group is blessed by being an officially recognized group for 'diversity' purposes. Does this mean diversity is seen as enhancing survival in disaster? I'd like to see that tortuous justification set.

Of course, I would hate to suggest that FEMA should BLINDLY appoint those whose epxertise is to plan for and deal with emergencies of all and any kind, with out regard to diversity as a goal. I would hate to suggest that by educational excellence diversity WILL occur, and then when it occurs that way, every diverse member achieving by success can offer back to society thru that expertise a better chance to survive that emergency.

But instead, diversity as a goal, and equivalence in outcome of positions is mandated as a primary goal, and professional excellence, and expertise is secondary.

This is not a result of any elected president. It is a far deeper problem.

By the way, the Jew that was appointed to FEMA?

She is now put in charge of their money.

Must be something they heard at FEMA about that professional expertise.

We all laughed at the whole thing. I suppose it IS funny.

Unless something happens.
