We were discussing the reasons why people do not leave in the face of dire consequences. Again, you overlooked the context.
That was a direct quote, NN.
Again, you overlooked the context.
The context was a cause (the Ivan evacuation was a nightmare) and an effect ("people didn't evacuate for Katrina"). I would be happy to discuss the proposition, but my immediate point was that the effect we're asked to accept as true...isn't. It would be like saying "last year's Saints season was a nightmare" (an arguably true statement), "so people don't go to Saints games anymore" (demonstrably false). That's not how logic works.
