every 2 or 3 months it will cost the government about 800 million dollars to rebuild
Not "the government", which is a very unclear concept quite often.. You, and me, and he and she will be paying. Same as we're paying for scores of other "bright ideas", whether we agree with them or not. So, it would make sense to rebuild *right* - a real city, with real people - than to replicate, including all the previous mistakes. At least... *I* would rather pay $3 towards rebuilding something that *works* (for New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf area), than $2 towards another fiasco which profits only the few cronies "up top", or no one at all. And given that I'm already paying (through increased gas prices) to "the benefit of the few"...
I won't respond to the rest of your message... Not because I can't muster an argument but because - obviously - we're so far removed in our perceptions of "what is real", that it's pointless to continue arguing.
