[Hoot Gibson]

In our particular situation we have never been flooded nor have we ever been at risk up untill the last few years. However, the water has never made it close to the house untill last night. Just stop posting on here this thread Hoot, you have no right to bash people who are going through a really rough time right now. Yes, I am taking affence to your comments, I in one night have lost everythign besides what I have here and my granmother had a stroke as well. I end this post now and not say what is truly going through my mind.

Take all the affence [sic] that you want to my posts but you may not place threads off limits to those who disagree with you. I am sorry to hear about your grandmother and your situation, but I, as a taxpayer am not responsible for your situation.

Do you not live in the 100-year flood plain - because if you do, then it matters not whether you have ever been flooded before. Either way, you or your family had an obligation to maintain flood insurance to protect yourselves against flooding. The federal government is broke and has been for some time. The time will come soon when it will no longer be able to afford to provide relief from natural disasters, and it would be better to cut back on such expenditures sooner rather than later.
