So what? Do you see thousands of homeless people
lookng for shelter after an ice storm? Or a blizzard?
You can't compare these things to what happened in
New Orleans.
As I said earlier, if I live in a house not built on
stilts, on the ocean in New England, it is likely to
be washed away by a storm at any time.
But I can choose to live a few houses up the street
and have no such risk.
That's what I'm talking about. You CAN choose to live
in a less risky place. Obviously.

Yes there are hazards everywhere. But you didn't
address what I said, did you. Good technique for a
politician. C'mon, Rosalie, tell us, are you running
for President...? :-))
