let us finally put to rest this ridiculous notion of the free-market ideologues that "the invisible hand" will fix all our problems. for evidence, one need look no further than cuba 2004:
At least 1.5 million Cubans were evacuated to higher ground ahead of the storm, and early Monday, Cuban President Fidel Castro toured parts of western Cuba, which was ravaged by Hurricane Charley a month ago.oh, and deaths in Cuba's category 5 storm? a whopping 0. none.
it's worth echoing that churchill quote thrown out by olbermann (whose video timeline is available here):
"The responsibility of government for the public safety is absolute and requires no mandate. It is in fact the prime object for which governments come into existence."
