I heard on the news today that Seever is claiming he didn't even read 
the note, and had no idea what it said.  Wouldn't that fall under the 
"Ignorance is no excuse" clause?

Speaking of stupidity, there are people on the coast taking their 
children to the Atlantic Beach boardwalk to look at the hurricane, and 
of course many SUV owners are bravely plowing through several feet of 
water.  I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few Darwin award 
contenders who will come out of this storm today.
