And I agree with pretty much all of what you just said. :) I can see where coastal states would get together and have a catastrophe fund, but i can also see why Nebraska wouldn't participate (although I know the midwest gets large chunks of change from the government for disasters, so maybe it would be an idea to have neb participate).

and no offense to you, I just find it tiresome when people throw the midwest around as an example when they have no idea of what goes on here. it floods, the farmers suffer severe droughts, tornadoes can wipe out a city in a matter of minutes...but for some reason...that's not good enough for the east/west coast to matter.

not to sound idealistic, but sometimes, i wish, in these circumstances, we would look at things from the perspective of the country as a whole not as each individual state.

Thanks for the "conversation" caffeind. Have a great day!
