"Sounds like it is time to get the f... out then."
sounds like a good idea to me. wait a sec... I have a better one. why don't we just keep all the oil, gas, chemicals, supplies of every type that comes through N.O. and sent to you guys by truck, train, pipeline and barged up the Mississippi, and hold it for ransom. aren't the strategic oil reserves in a hole in Port of Fourchon south of N.O.? we'll keep that also. then sell it to you when you're freezing in the dark up north and use the money to rebuild South Louisiana. you might actually need N.O. more than N.O. needs you. you have just had a taste of what will happen without N.O. just in the price increase of gas in the last few days. or haven't you realized that yet? There is NO high ground in south Louisiana. Nowhere that's safe from hurricanes. not much anywhere on the entire coastline of several states is safe. should we shut down Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama coastal towns also?
