Will This Get Me Re-elected?

This morning I was going to write a post about the ways in which governments act when planning for disasters.

Most of my personal commentary on the world at large is based on opinion, feelings or my own arguments, but for a change, this post was to be based on my past experience of dealing with government agencies on the subject.

Happily though, I'm don't have to write it, because Bryan Adams has said everything already. As a bonus, he is much more eloquent than I, infinitely better informed, and also presents a crystal clear layer of political logic that I couldn't have given you if I'd sat down and thought about it until Christmas.
