we don't agree on anything, and my idea was a suggestion that maybe they should have never "built castles on sand". i'm sure after 300 years of living in a flood hole, they have no intention to move their city regardless of what it costs. they make in revenue yearly what the cost was, so the cost of money isn't as important as the idea they built houses where they knew they would be destroyed. the levy alone is getting old, and needs to be rebuilt. every season now they are going to go through this until they rebuild it completely.
there will many lives taken each year because of the hurricanes, and many more now with the levy needing repair. it would make more sense for them to see where their real shore line began than to keep up a sharade of a homelife for all those citizens. they have more of an opportunity now than they ever will have when everyone moves back in. i have no crazy intentions to say they don't have a right to their homeland and they shouldn't be allowed to rebuild, but the whole idea to live behind a levy in a hurricane prone area should have never been put into play. they knew what would happen eventurally and it wasn't worth the cost of all those lives. i don't think that was very safe planning. --- Tamara P Duvall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sep 24, 2005, at 22:58, susan wrote: > > > 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.
