these people built homes on a flood plain protected by levees? rebuilt in the same place after the last flood, and the ones before that? when they bulldoze New Orleans like every one here suggested, maybe they could keep going up the Mississippi and knock all these flooded towns down also. why would anyone build where it could flood at anytime, then rebuild after it does. thought only us southern trailer trash Walmart shoppers were that stupid. at least that's what I read here after Katrina. maybe they could bulldoze NO, push it all up there, dredge a new port same time and everyone would be happy.. we'll bring music, Mardi Gras, crawfish, festivals for anything and joie de vivre and they could give us... honestly don't have a clue what's in the midwest. must be something since they keep building in flood areas just like those ignorant Louisiana idiots do after hurricanes. we're so dumb, if we had earthquakes, forest fires and mudslides, we would probably build a house on side of a hill near a forest.
