We've heard so much about what went wrong, time to learn what went right
Some 25,000 - 50,000 people pulled from harm's way - not by FEMA, not by the state, not by the city, but an adhoc network of the Coast Guard, the Air Force, the Navy, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and volunteer rescuers who fielded their own boats.
An ad-hoc distributed network responded on its own. Big Government didn't work. Odds and ends of little government did.
