"That is just enough! You are a f'n moron. Earthquakes don't stop America from rebuilding San Francisco or Los Angles."

I'm not for rebuilding those places either unless the rebuilding can be done in such a way as to prevent future distruction. It is folly to keep rebuilding something that will just get knocked down again. You speak of the wonderful culture of New Orleans. Fine, let those that want to rebuild it for "culture" do it using their money, not mine.

Mercy that you are not in-charge of anything, and that you are not on the staff of anyone who cares what you or your allies here think. In your America the Port of Los Angles would not exist, San Francisco would not exist. Lower Manhattan (the world's financial center) would be abandoned. Farmers shipping grain down the Mississippi would be broke sending loads in ships small enough to be serviced in Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge, by the way, would be useless without the River Control Structure. The list of economic reasons for having New Orleans in exactly the place it is would go on for pages.

Where do you expect the folks who work at the refineries and grain export facilities to live? Your suggestion is simply not credible. Only a f'n moron would agree with you.
