Do people deserve to die?

hurricane ike hits cuba

When Hurricane Katrina hit, a lot of people said that they ones left behind deserved to die and be stuck on rooftops because they didn't leave. It's not that simple, especially not in the case of Katrina, but we won't get into that. People don't stay during hurricanes because they value their expensive rugs and chandeliers. They stay because it's home. You feel more helpless when you're away and you don't know what you're going to come back to. I live in like hurricane central and I can tell you that I've only evacuated once and that was during a category 5. I don't think anyone deserves to die or not get a way out when they need it just because they thought they'd be safe at home. Maybe they should leave when people are warning them to, but people make stupid decisions all of the time and they shouldn't be thought less of because of that. If everyone's decisions were put out there for the world to see, I'm sure that their choosing to be in the only place that they feel safe wouldn't be at the top of the list. That's my feeling, but it's not Adrianne Curry's belief. She thinks that those people should have to pay to be saved, more than what they do in taxes already. What do you think?
