In the destructive flood in Texas, any talk of loss must involve the death of children and the adults who were trying to save them; the term “losers� does not enter into this description of the loss of loved ones. Yet at a recent news conference held by Governor Abbott, he decries the question about responsibility for the loss of over 100 people and addresses responsibility as he would a locker room rally, "Let me explain one thing about Texas, and that is Texas — every square inch of our state — cares about football. The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who’s to blame; that to “point fingers� is not something that winners do.� I find this shunting aside of more than a hundred lives insulting and demeaning to those who perished and their loved ones. A critical analysis of the actions of those involved is called for – to prevent further loss of life if nothing else.
