Katrina August 29, 2006
It’s been a year since Hurricane Katrina hit the South. Be sure to read Deb’s post. Thank you for sharing all that, sweetie. If you know anyone who’s lived through a major earthquake or firestorm, you’ll know that the insurance companies don’t treat them any better. I hate insurance companies. They’re a blight on our society.

From a strictly business point of view, I can understand that, if the insurance companies were actually to pay everyone what they really deserved for the thousands and thousands of homes that were completely destroyed, they would be bankrupt and unable to help anybody at all. No business can underwrite that kind of expense on that kind of scale.
But, on every other, human, moral level? It’s just so, so wrong. It’s not bad enough those people lost their homes, their towns, their cities–their jobs, their sense of security, their faith in their government–but they also have to start over with virtually NOTHING? So unfair…. Just, wrong, on so many levels.
