Pull your head out and deal with reality for a change instead constantly looking for excuses to whine about Bush. WHAT do we do to rebuild after the worst natural disaster in US History Chamberlinbuff? Just tell 3 states to go screw themsleves because YOU don't want to actually DO anything because YOUR comfortable little nitch isn't effected? Wonder if it was YOUR state that was devestated if you would be so gung ho to impose your absurd notions of social darwinism on these people. BTW Chamberlinbuff, how many votes do you think your "DO NOTHING" plan would get in the US Congress? What do you think "Do nothingism" will do to Republican electoral chances in 2008? Try to actually THINK for a change rather then desperately grasp for the latest excuse to whine about Bush.
Excuse me, but please explain why I should pay for folks who were stupid enough to live in a coastal city built below sea level and failed to purchase flood insurance?
The are entitled to sympathy and whatever insurance they contracted for. Anything else is either extortion or charity.
