Right on.

Now this is just personal anecdote-- but one thing I've always been pretty surprised by (as a person with fairly severe health issues, haha not sure how that totally influences thigns) is how, when there's a local emergency, the adrenaline just hits me and I spring in to action (as much as I can) to help out.

Par example, three times now I've survived bad fires that way, and after comparing notes with an old friend over Uvalde, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that both of us felt the same way-- that we wouldn't have been able to look ourselves in the mirror if we hadn't made our best attempt to save the kids.

Seriously, how do these BLUE people look at themselves in the mirror for either not doing their best that day, or on a national scale, for enabling this awful betrayal of public trust?
