KATRINA, we learned nothin' from YA

Surprise, surprise, Tropical Storm LEE poses a danger to the Gulf Coast of Louisiana because the towns and cities there are built 14 feet below sea level. In Florida, we are castigated often in the liberal press because "rich people" can buy Flood and Windstorm insurance for thousands of dollars in premiums per year and it's "not fair." (that we can buy insurance with money from our own pockets) Meanwhile FEMA and the Obama White House can't wait to start stroking checks to cover entire metro areas that are totally uninsured. Why the Hell am I buying these expensive flood and supplementary flood policies on MY house? And my house is 12 feet ABOVE sea level. I don't have to have a giant pump running night and day to keep my town from being underwater. It is OBVIOUS we did not learn ANYTHING from Hurricane Katrina. And once again, the conscientious Ant is responsible for the unprepared Grasshopper (fable). This is like having a loser in-law that can't make ends meet and relies on you, year, after year, after year.
