Re: "insurance companies continue to RAISE RATES...AND SCREW AMERICANS HURT BY DISASTERS" I couldn't disagree more. I am sick and tired of people building on the beaches of South Caroline that get hit by hurricanes every 2-3 years or so, the flood plains of the Mississippi that have flooded every spring for 1000s of years, mud slide hills property in Southern California, homes on top of landfills and foot hills of forest fire mountains (complete with cedar shingle roofs - DUH!!!) and other natural disaster areas that anyone with half a brain KNOWS will destroy their house and then expecting the tax payer and other insurance buyers to bail them out. Anyone that builds on these areas (And ponies up extra money for the "privilege" of living in one of these accidents waiting to happen) should be immediately neutered, then forced to pay triple the home value every year in insurance premiums. Furthermore, when they are told to leave as the disaster approaches, if they choose to stay and we see them on the news later waiting to be rescued, they should hire snipers to take them out. I figure we can raise the average IQ of America in a couple years just by eliminating these people from the gene pool. Sorry for the rant but this has been one of pet peeves for years and years and after a few Stella Artois, I have no inhibition right now to keep me from ranting. -gggg- Good Luck, Lee
