All sorts of stupid people say stupid things.  Irrespective of your  point of 
view, you can find folks of opposing views that say stupid  things.  Somehow 
when an idiot of an opposing view says something stupid,  some use that to 
validate their own overwhelming brilliance.  Oh, and their  righteousness.  How 
convenient, all they have to do is sit around and  wait.  When politics is 
taken out of the legitimate question on global  warming, there isn't much left. 
 
Most that I've seen prefer their  conversation or rant to have a very healthy 
dose of politics, pseudo-science and  even a few lies sprinkled in for good 
measure. 
 
Now the 500 year flood . . .  that simply means the probability is  once in 
500 years and it could happen three years in a row, 5 out of 10,  once in 2500. 
  If you can't grasp that concept, you can take comfort  in knowing you can 
blame it on someone you don't like rather than your lack of  understanding of 
the nature of probability.  Again, how  convenient. 
 
Oh, if you live in the United States, you should buy flood insurance.   This 
is a government subsidized program that charges a premium which is  inadequate 
for the risk.  That means it is cheap coverage.  It  also means those who pay 
taxes pick up the difference between premiums collected  and claims paid.

supports McCain said about Katrina being sent  by god because the people 
of New Orleans were overly sinful - the same  must be true about Iowa.
