FOX NEWS Host: Fema Is Unnecessary, Because WALMART Would "Spontaneously" Save US ALL In A Disastor!
[link to www.rawstory.com]

Fox news host, John Stossel made the statement that Fema is unnecessary, because Walmart would spontaneously save us all in a disaster.

I understand what he is saying. Order always comes somehow out of chaos.

He says we could do with less government and more spontaneity.

FROM LINK:

Linker said that the United States had conducted two experiments in “spontaneous order” in recent years by overthrowing governments in Iraq and Libya.

“In both cases, spontaneity brought the opposite of order. It produced anarchy and civil war, mass death and human suffering,” he wrote. “Order doesn’t just happen, and it isn’t the product of individual freedom.”

“The libertarian prophets of ‘spontaneous order’ get things exactly backward, sometimes with catastrophic real-world consequences. Which is why it’s a particularly bad idea,” Linker concluded.

As for Walmart, the company was praised for its response to Hurricane Katrina, but experts pointed out that FEMA had many more responsibilities.

“FEMA has to prioritize search and rescue, and moving equipment, moving people, moving medical supplies,” ABC News homeland security expert observed in 2005. “Wal-Mart just has to deliver supplies.”

Stossel is a little warped in my opinion.

What's interesting is, Walmart has a ton of vacant stores that could easily be converted into FEMA camps at the drop of a hat. Add into the question Walmart's cozy relationship and the possibility is not too outlandish.
