This seems to me like such a simple question (and it probably is) yet I cannot seem to find an example that gives me the answer.  Using PostGIS, I just want to select points that fall *outside* of polygons.  Ultimately this is the inverse of the ST_Intersects, as far as I can see it.

Example: I have a taxlot layer and a address point layer.  I assume I should be using the ST_Intersects, but how do I tell it to do the reverse selection?  I thought maybe adding a *NOT* statement in front of the code below, but that did not work.

    CREATE table t_intersect AS
    SELECT 
      hp.gid, 
      hp.st_address, 
      hp.city, 
      hp.st_num,
      hp.the_geom
    FROM 
      public.parcel as par,
      public.housepoints as hp
    WHERE 
      ST_Intersects(hp.the_geom,par.the_geom);
