I just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth.
It seems that every liberal I have ever met supports building codes to prevent poor ignorant people from building ramshackle homes and trying to live in them. It seems to me that we need a federal building code that will prevent people from siting cities within 20 miles of the coast that are less than 20 feet above sea level.
This code should prevent siting new cities and well as re-building ones that have beeen destroyed by mother nature.
My heart goes out to all the citizens of New Orleans and I support providing assistance to each and every one of them who needs it to relocate to a safe city.
But for the American taxpayer to pay to rebuild the city of New Orleans in the current location would only compound the tragedy Mother nature has wrought.
In light of all the predictions of liberals that global warming is going to raise the sea levels around the glode, we need this new "building code" right away.
If this post seems harsh or mean spirited, please use your head and realize that the meanest thing we could do to another generation is to build cities in locations like New Orleans.
Who do we owe the site of New Orleans? The French. And we know the wisdom of the French.
Best Wishes,
Someone posted that we should submit a warranty claim to France.
The City was built in a way to control the Port.
The insurers are going to pay for all those buildings....I expect a good many to be torn down. Wonder how much bleach they are going to need to kill all the bacterias and germs. Might by some Clorox stock.
