----It's obviously too early to say with certainty, but I'm hopeful that the future is brighter for many residents of NO now than it has ever been.----

It is, for the ones who are getting out of this state. And that's the sad thing as far as N.O. is concerned; why would you want to rebuild it? I encounter these refugees every day and the most common thing I hear is how much they're looking forward to starting life elsewhere. They KNOW what they've escaped from and don't want to go back.

Louisiana is a bad, bad, bad investment risk. I can't stress that enough.

You think that every one of the evacuees should leave and never come back?

Who's going to operate the (very important) port? (And where are we going to get such good jazz and shrimp? ;)

I agree that NO should not be rebuilt as it was. It should be rebuilt better than it was.

And knowing the great American spirit and how we rise to any challenge set before us, I'm betting it will all happen before any of us expect it.
