The Aftermath of Katrina and the Insurance Wars - Hard Feelings Worn on a Sleeve

The insightful commentary on my Happy New Years post is the reason we are linking to Dr McFarland's presentation at Gene Taylor's Town hall meeting held last August in Bay St Louis. The anger from being reduced to living in a camper trailer while State Farm was opinion shopping their engineers has naturally lead to some very strong feelings among those made homeless by Katrina. It sometimes spills over into the commentary at places like the Yahoo Allstate Stock Board and the video clip below. I am more than content to let our readership gauge the depths of the anger down here both in the linked post by Coastal Cowboy and the following Youtube clip. Originally we were not going to link Dr McFarland and I am not doing so to bash the insurance industry people reading this blog. Rather it I hope it illustrates the very real frustration that has accompanied Katrina and it's aftermath and perhaps even lead to a greater understanding of all of the perspectives among the antagonists on this issue.
