It's also easy to see that you can't build anything on mud and shifting sand that water can't move. Period.
I'm a Mechanical Engineer, since I was never nice enough to be Civil.
"Joshua led his armies
To the walls of Jericho.
He knew he must get in
But not which way to go.
One blast from his trumpet
Left them nothing more to fear.
For the walls had been constructed
By a Civil Engineer."
I hate to think we're taking taxing the social security benefits of people who worked their whole lives to pay to rebuild levees and replenish beaches so a class of fools can resume their lifestyle. This is not confined to New Orleans by any means.
"It's also easy to see that you can't build anything on mud and shifting sand that water can't move. Period."
That's true, but there is plenty of good money to be made trying.
Enjoyed your poem.
CE's build targets, ME's build weapons.
