Just one big mess:
Rescue crews navigated flooded and debris-strewn streets Saturday to search for those who insisted on staying and riding out a fierce Hurricane Ike, which shattered skyscraper windows, cut power to millions and flooded thousands of homes as it sloshed across the Texas coast.
About those who stayed behind – I do wonder if we should cite them? I mean, by staying behind they risk danger to police and fire personnel, as well as increasing the cost of hurricane recovery to States and municipalities. I’m not talking about jail time – but maybe a $1,000 “Idiot Fine”? And we should allow their insurance carriers to cancel their policy…and, of course, deny them any government aid in rebuilding. You have a right, in America, to be an idiot – but you don’t have a right to be rescued from your idiocy.
One other point – there are stories of gas prices in various places being 5, 6 or more dollars per gallon – all States should enact laws, if they already haven’t, against this sort of thing…its un-American, un-Christian and inhuman to jack up prices like that during a crisis.
