As long as I'm footing part of the preposterous bill to reconstruct a city that insists on existing below sea level in a hurricane zone, I'll be happy to defend the existing ground rules. If my fellow countrymen agree to abandon New Orleans to nature, I'll gladly support the fools wishing to stay.
Those people aren't costing the tax payers a dime. They're fending for themselves, unlike the "refugees" in Houston and elsewhere.
