It's already started to rain, and those freshly, hastily patched levees just couldn't take the pressure. One or more has already given way, and the water is rushing in to flood those just dried streets once again.I hate to say it, but it is beginning to look as though New Orleans is going to be down for the count...perhaps permanently. Hit with this one, two punch...and who knows how many more storms are on their way? I mean, just how many times can the government be expected to bail this city out?...No pun intended. Are we now going to drain our reserves dry because people are so hard headed that they don't see that going back time and time again is a lost cause? Sooner or later, the insurance companies,and the relief efforts are going to hit rock bottom, and then where will we be? We have given until it hurts, and still, it's not enough. Even those with the deepest pockets imaginable will eventually have to say, that's all I can do. There is no more to give! Let us close this chapter of sadness and woe,and relocate the survivors, and move on! Some may say I am being mean, or cruel, but I honestly don't mean it that way...besides which, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. You can't keep shoveling money into the bottomless pit called New Orleans,and expect for the outcome to be different. That is insanity.As was portrayed on television time after time, the city was a bowl below sea level,and when the levees blew, the city died. Rebuild on higher ground for heavens sakes, and leave the mess behind!
OUI?
