Some questions with few answers:
President Bush spoke to the country last night and promised to rebuild New Orleans on the taxpayer dime. Has anybody really given that proposal a lot of thought? Does it make sense to rebuild a (literally) sinking city? If Global Warming really is raising sea levels, isn't building a city in a swamp below sea level kind of, umm, stupid? Why should I have to pay for the risks folks in New Orleans choose to take in their living arrangements? (And why should they have to pay for my gamble to live in Tornado Alley, if one day that gamble goes wrong?) Even if we acknowledge that many individuals cannot afford the level of insurance necessary to recoup all their losses, shouldn't we still hold accountable for their losses those who can afford insurance? Why do I have to pay for a millionaire's new refrigerator?
