Not a problem. The gas you drive with, the electricity that keeps your a$$ cool and allows you to live like a civilized person ALL comes from the this place. N.O. was a world city when most of this country was wilderness. It was built where it was because of it's extremely strategic location. This is different than mansions on bluffs in CA or on the beach in Cape Cod. New Orleans has had much to do with the success of this country and to say it should be abandoned is a arrogant as hell. This is the 4th largest port on the planet and the source of much of the country's energy as well as one of the most historic cities in the USA. Your statement does however fit very well with your thinking that gouging hungry people for food is a good thing. I still hope you and your family never experience something like this even though it might help you get your head out of your a$$.
