I'm assuming you meant what you wrote?
In addition to the above nonsense, the entirety of my original post is
irrational.?
Perhaps you could clear up your definition of the word "rational", or
help me understand where I am being ignorant.

It's not non-sense, it's dead on.

You're basis is totally screwed up, more given to rhetoric than data.

Hint: irrational = no ratio.

Take it from there.

Either you changed your name, or are in tandem with a fellow..
Could you give an example plz?

Are you saying that their is no virtual guarantee of another hurricane
type of disaster for New Orleans? That statement couldnt be considered
"dead on"?
The oil industry and related equipment has been abandoned and not
fixed?
It is not a poor area?
The elite care deeply about those people?
These areas havent been widely abandoned?
These couldnt be considered excuses?
Me living minutes from the water and having many beach front houses and
land in the immediate family (one needing a new entry door, cant
forget) and been through every hurricane the last 11 years and lost
houses wouldnt have any uncertainty?
Less than 9 out of 10 affected in MS received insurance coverage?
Most paying less than 20 years?
Insurance companies didn't take billions last year?
Actual people werent affected?
Taxpayer and samaritan arent going to bear these costs?
You wont find plenty of coast for sale?
The last bubble wasnt recent?
Old boring condos not a million?
People flipping condos over and over and selling out before
construction not considered panic?
Yearly condo cost average not about $600?
That wouldnt last 30 years?
Interest and investment of a mil couldnt result in another mil in 30
yrs?
Condos round here arent being built like wildfire?
Locals are sticking around? Commercial not taking its place?
Your friendly neighborhood insurance carrier is having a real bad time
with its billions that it didnt make because they spent it on the poor
homeless folks they love that havent been paying them for 20 yrs?

Oh, and we all know the last one..
Not happening and never will!!

Uncertainly less trivial than all wouldnt think

I suppose if I have all that confused I shouldnt be the one to have
replied to the original subject.
Perhaps you have a more insider line on the whole event.

Well, that shouldn't be too hard.

FYI - Insurance policies have words like "Exclusions" and sometimes that
word is followed by words like "water" or "wind". If the "9 out of 10" had
actually read their policies instead of bragging about what a great deal
they got, they would be holding a check from the insurance company instead
of whining to some left-wing journalist on a grossly distorted hit piece
about how the "evil insurance companies are giving them the finger".

Personally I think it's great when insurance companies and FEMA deny claims.
People like you seem to think there is some sort of fairy land where money
just falls from the trees. There is no such thing as "insurance money" or
"FEMA money". It's *MY* frickin' money. Long before Katrina hit I reached
my level of tolerance for my bank account being raided through increased
property insurance premiums and increased taxes to pay for jackasses who
*voluntarily choose* to live in structurally inadequate homes in flood or
hurricane prone areas. Don't know how much of my insurance premium goes to
cover claims from floods and hurricanes but I wouldn't be surprised if it's
at least 60%.

Steve.

If the ice caps melted completely, sea level would rise about 10-12 feet. As
it is, the ice packs are getting thicker (think of why you should not
overfill an ice cube tray before putting it in the freezer).
