Apparently we are reaching the point of needing laws to outlaw living in accident prone areas. Time to manage our tax dollars a little more.

Exactly! When you build on the edge of the Gulf, you should not be allowed to rebuild IMHO. I really resent tax dollars going to help casino owners who put their casinos on the Gulf rebuild as well.

Glad to hear you agree. Probably is a bad time to mention it but this happens about 3 times a year costing billions of dollars.

And, no drilling for oil off Florida or California, no wind tunnels off Massachusetts - it destroys the beauty and environment of those living there. So, they demand that the government do something to lower the cost of gas. As long as it does not mean adding refineries, drilling in Anwar, or elsewhere in the U.S.

Oh, nevermind. I am in a fowl mood over the media (FoxNews today). Guess I missed one or more of my antidepressants. But I am extremely thankful I did not have to live through that hurricane. Looks like God answered some prayers.

Natural disaster happen everywhere. Earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, forest fires. If people weren't allowed to build anywhere there might be a natural disaster, we wouldn't be allowed to build anywhere. Anyway, ports, beach resorts, and all that other stuff that has to be built near the ocean won't operate without people. Where do you expect them to live if they can't build houses?
