If this doesn't exemplify chutzpa, then what does? Michael Brown, who got no brownie points for Fema's handling of the Katrina crisis has started a company to teach people how to prepare for disasters. What's your sales pitch going to be Michael?

Mark Twain once said, "The trouble is that the stupid people--who constitute the grand overwhelming majority of this and all other nations--do believe and are molded and convinced by what they get out of a newspaper."

Do your own brainwashing. Turn off your television and turn on your inner vision.
