short wave radio continues to provide suprising results, even in Katrina.  the limitiation is how do you get roads built with a loose built organization?  i believe in limited government, but that might be too limited for me, as one should have to rationalize shared responsibility in front of one another.  i understand the benefits of it, especially as it provides an infrastructure alternative in times of stress, as very few of us know, the govt won't protect all of us all of the time.
