In which case, you should not be seeking government assistance when a predictable disaster happens.



I see both sides of this particular point. But what about those who simply cannot afford to move elsewhere? Or to buy insurance ahead of natural disasters?



Insurance is fine, if you can afford it. But otherwise, if the place is zoned "not for human habitation", you shouldn't be there.



Um, ok. I'm in the dark on this one. Are there people, in the aftermath of Katrina and Rita, who lived in zones publicly designated "not for human habitation" who are now trying to get governmental aid?

We all wear a green carnation.
