Yes, i agree that they decided to live there just like i decided to live here and they accepted the consequences. Every days brings new consequences to each and every person. The ENTIRE U.S. at this moment is responsible for the rescue efforts and cleanup in Lousinanna, Mass. and Alabama, plain and simple! As for rebuilding there, i'm totally against it. It will just happen again and us taxpayers just can't afford it let alone this one. We are responsible because it's a state of the U.S. Just because something wiped out a good chunk of it doesn't mean were are a country of 48 or 49 states now. What if some catastrophe happened up here in the Midwest? What if we had no heating oil/gas and temps dipped down to -30+ below out this winter. Many of us would freeze to death. A scenario like that isn't all that unrealistic. I don't think it would be right for people in the south to point figures and say "I told you so, that you shouldn't live up there in the north." I'd sure want some relief from the people of the south. We can't treat our own citizens like they've become enemies just because of their geographical location.
