Once Again, September is National Preparedness Month

Hey, kids!

I'd like to share this with y'all. It comes from the United States Conference of Mayors -- they all kinda get together and talk about things every so often:

This September, The U.S. Conference of Mayors is once again [emphasis mine -rt] joining with a coalition of more than 179 government and private organizations including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the American Red Cross to mark "National Preparedness Month."

During the month, each coalition member will encourage citizens to take simple steps to prepare themselves and their families for a terrorist attack or any other type of emergency.

Once again, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Department of Homeland Security, 179 organizations and the Red Cross all signed off on this great little project and circulated it to everyone in the mainstream media.

Once again....

And see what's happened, once again?

Folks are just bickering, yammering, screaming, hollering and engaging in politics and nastiness as usual. It seems to me that no one wants to take accountability for his or her actions -- across the board.

Here.

There.

Everywhere in this land of the free, where freedom clearly means freedom from accountability.

I, for one, am going to do my part to be a better citizen, person, friend, son, brother, blogger, biker, employee, manager, human being, volunteer and so on...once again.

I just want to be prepared for the day when I can stand up and say...that's what I said I'd do...and that's what I did.

Which, for once, would be a welcome change.
