Has anyone come out with it yet (and is it too politically incorrect to say) that it was only a matter of time before something happened to New Orleans? Anyone who lived there was knowingly in harms way, and anyone who had the means to move away, or didn't grow up there, or moved there of their own free will, was making the choice to live at the base of Mt. Vesuvius. This doesnt have anything to do with feeling sorry for the devastation down there, but the fact is, at this point not a single dollar should be spent towards rebuilding a city in the yearly path of strong hurricanes located between three bodies of water and 10 feet below sea level. That's my two cynical but I think quite realistic cents on the subject.
