[StBernard] Here's some thought provoking information

[Westley Annis]

I sooo wish I knew who received this and hope they corrected the *sshole who
thought it up.  
 
I sent it to a friend in Ohio who has been following things closely at home.
I pointed out all the errors to her, like, oh...it's for the entire state,
not just NOLA, the max is the 150k, minus insurance.  Being reduced 30% if
you were in a flood plain but didn't have flood insurance, etc.
 
I know that if she receives any crud like this she'll whip out the correct
facts and figures for anyone who perpetuates this garbage!
