Thanks for posting this, Bob. I agree.

Welfare Statism is the underlying cause of the disgusting behavior noted in the aftermath of Katrina. It is Welfare Statism, not weather anomalies -- that needs to be guarded against (lest this exception becomes the rule).

The cycle of violent hurricanes (as opposed to the friendly kind) in the Gulf and the Atlantic is remarkably regular - about 24 years - having been tracked since the founding of European settlements.
