I think the only way to avoid that happening, and the city rebuilding
itself peicemeal, would be if they knocked down the levees and the land
was submerged. But I don't think that is in the plans, and the levees
will certainly be rebuilt in Bush2's time, as that is a project that
even he can manage.


Jesus, pontificating again on the goold ole USA from thousands of miles
away.

Especially since it appears the main levee break which created the problem
might have been caused by a loosened barge and not the rain and storm suge
from the storm.

Of course New Orleans is going to get rebuilt, think of it, it's a once in a
lifetime opportunity to rebuild a city with all it's poor and unwanted
dumped on someone else. The hope is they will learn from the mistakes of the
past and institue practices that help rebuild the delta. Regardless the city
is a national treasure and that port can not be easily replaced.

A year from now that stretch of coast from New Orleans over to Pascagula is
going to be the hard goods economic driver of the US economy. Just think of
all the new refrigerators, cars, washing machines, cabinets etc that's going
to be bought, just in time to help the next fricking republican presidential
candidate.
