Myths of Hurricane Katrina:
On 6 Sep 2005 07:05:18 -0700, "
wrote Myths of Hurricane Katrina: In fact, I am outraged that my federal tax dollars are going to pay for any of this. How about I build a house at low tide and when high tide comes I collect money and aid from the federal government? Call me crazy, but I don't see how it is my responsibility to pay for people who chose to live below sea level surrounded by bodies of water the smallest of which is the Mississippi River. They chose to live below sea level and now I have to pay money to them? No, I don't think they should be prevented from living below sea level-- but when something happens I shouldn't get the bill either. If they weren't 100% sure they would be bailed out if anything ever did happen perhaps they would have done something about the levees earlier. You got that right! |
