Re: OT: followup on New Orleans - disgraceful

Hello Winfield,

All persons moving back into the affected area should be required to sign
a release form stating that they know the area is potentially dangerous and
relinquishing any and all rights to request Federal assistance in any form.


 You're proposing to extend that hard-line position to the entire
 coastline from say North Carolina to the Mexican border, I assume?

Jim has a point. It does not make sense to rebuild when you know that the same thing could (or rather, will) happen again. When most of the houses too close to the water flooded down the American river out here I could not believe my eyes when residents elected to rebuild at the very same spot. I hope that at least the insurance companies socked them since I do not wish to pay for the foolish decisions of other. It is time that people take responsibility for their own decisions.

Regards, Joerg
