I’m sure this story will resonate with several people on my LJ friends list. A town in Florida, in preparation for hurricane season, passed a law allowing them to seize any property from any resident for the duration of any emergency. They acknowledge that this sort of law is ripe for abuse, but promise that they are benevolent dictators.
So, your incentive to be prepared for an emergency to protect your own property and family is what?
(Thanks, Diane)

So this law which has apparently never been used is "necessary,"? All available evidence would suggest exactly the opposite.
