The guy was sincere...he genuinely believes it, having been indoctrinated, likely in school. That's the part that scares me.
I talk to those guys on the internet all the time. It’s easy to show them that this is not unusual. I even use Katrina. The hurricane was just average. Unfortunately, a bad levee broke, flooding a big bowl. It was an accident waiting to happen and they KNEW another hurricane could cause it.
It’s like running on bald tires with cords showing and when you get a blowout from a rock in the road, complaining that the road is in terrible disrepair.
