Wrong when directed at you, just as wrong when directed at government.

Since I realize that in the Western hemisphere there are a number of nations that have referred to themselves as "united states," and you claim to be in the "united states," I have to ask: Have you ever actually been to the United States of America, the one immediately south of Canada? The totality of the substance of your comments would seem to indicate the answer is "No" and that your only familiarity with it comes from the most lurid tales from a fringe left weekly.

You're a bit confused about the facts. The US kicked North Vietnam's ass repeatedly which is why they signed the peace treaty. After the North Vietnamese agreed to peace the US withdrew from South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese then invaded since the people that kept kicking their ass had left.

The North Vietnamese didn't take the base "fair and square." They lied, broke a peace treaty, engaged in a war of aggression by invading South VIetnam, and terribly abused the people of South Vietnam in addition to abusing the people of North Vietnam. Ever hear of their "reeducation camps"? Or the boat people?

As to having ""operation freedom" shoved up their ass," that didn't work out so well for either Saddam or Bin Laden, did it? Or were you confused on that point?

If you think it is the US "raising most of the tensions in the "region"", you don't know what you are talking about. Try the Chinese, who are threatening their neighbors and making claims on their territory.

If they can't manage to remove those references from a public web site then there is no concerted effort to keep them from being used.

If you believe that I think that government can never make a mistake then you have no useful idea about what I think despite your implied familiarity with my posting history and beliefs. Perhaps your should try making more arguments yourself instead of playing mind reader since you do it so badly.

Actually there have been calls for massive government intervention and widespread, harsh restrictions on people's daily activities, not to mention the economy as a whole, in order to "combat" what is now referred to by the nonspecific term "climate change." Your often uninformed commentary from a fringe perspective does little to flatter you.

I've noticed that a lot of things that seem true to you aren't so. That is just one of the many hazards of your ideology.

Do you think they'll be updating the story to show it may have a few "flaws"?

So you're saying the insurance industry has acquiesced to accepting a reason to raise rates and cut coverage, or otherwise avoid risk that might, might arrive in 100 years. Gravy.

"Love" that you managed to work in a "Koch Brothers" reference, relevent or not. Any chance you'll be working in Soros in the future given his widespread and toxic activism?

Are insurnace companies that do business in Florida regulated by the state of Florida, like they are in every other state? Just curious.

If you RTFA -

Passed by a female Democratic governor
Limited to 4 years
Written because the models predicting doom weren't trusted and offered no useful guidance on what to if if 2,100 sq miles were going to be under water

If the predictions of doom* in 100 years are correct they would still have 96 years to act. That might be enough.

* Sea level rises just over 1 meter/39 inches in 100 years

Do you think that totalitarianism is the answer?

Quantum superposition renders it harmless.

What are you going to belive, your lying eyes that show Florida isn't under water, or alarmists that say it was under water 15 years ago?

Interestingly enough the article appears to be false in at least some of its claims. Take this, for example:

Sustainable Initiatives

An official State of Florida web site using the word "sustainable." That isn't supposed to be possible, is it? Makes you wonder how much more of the article is false, distorted, or blown out of proportion.

Oh, and look! Here is one on climate change!

What is Climate Change?

And more on climate change.

Climate Changev/ Water Management Connections (PDF)
Climate Change Action Plan for the Florida Reef System 2010-2015 (PDF)

Look at that, actual plans for action on climate change, not just hot air and alarmism. I thought that wasn't possible?

Now I've got a question: Who paid you to post that?

Where is your "proof" that anybody was paid to do this? I think you're simply a liar, and a slanderer.

If you want the truth you need to look past lying ACs. It''s almost as if getting the truth about Republicans on Slashdot is even harder than getting climate models right.

You might think that, wouldn't you?

Sustainable Initiatives
Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems

Entirely reasonable if your job is public housing.
