WhatUwish4: If the levees break again, we should declare it a lost cause and the federal government should refuse to allocate funds towards reconstruction in the low lying area.
BUT...They can take the same funds and distribute them to the people of New Orleans for other causes.

If any private citizen was considering building a house with their own money, no one would build one on the coast on a piece of land that was below sea level. Common sense should have a say in this, instead of everyones knee jerk reaction to their "feelings".

Even the Indians told the two French Brothers that they would be idiots to build a town where New Orleans stands because of flooding.... They did it anyway. So, he who does not learn from history is destine to repeat it.
If out government feels they need to rebuild anything on the site of New Orleans..... maybe the name should change to ... "New Washington DC" The wait for the next big blow and it might take them all out to sea.
