There you go constructing a rational/irrational, informed/uninformed dichotomy again. A distinction which automatically attributes more value to the opinions of the "rational" and the "informed" (i.e. people who think like you). Those kinds of dichotomies just are not useful in any situation where resolution is the goal.
How can we even begin to discuss an issue when your very language makes it clear that you don't recognize value in what I have to say because it might different from what you believe. Never once, have I said that you were irrational or uninformed. I recognize your right to believe what and how you believe, and I recognize that your beliefs are grounded in what you hold to be sound logic.
Honestly, I don't want to debate with you. I really think that the Katrina issue has been rehashed ad nauseam on this board and one more debate isn't going to change anyone's mind, especially if those engaged in the debate believe so firmly in the rightness and "rationality" of their stance.
