Sure we could move all the people out of southern Louisiana. That would definately fix the problem. Moving all the jews in Israel to Wisconsin or Montana would also fix the mid-east crisis. And attaching wings to frogs would prevent their asses from hitting the ground when they jumped. And placing everyone with HIV on the moon would cure the AIDS crisis.
Other countries are able to protect their cities from water, we can do it too.
So, why are people ENTITLED to live in a place that is below sea level and further entitled to have the government aleviate the consequences of such a choice?
A frog indeed would not bump his @ss on every rock if it had wings. What it does not have is to right to demand that it be supplied with wings at someone else's expense because it wants to hop amongst the rocks.

We can but it's foolish to do so. Why should taxpayers bail out an area like New Orleans knowing the dangers involved. If private citizens and private investors want to do it, fine. But don't expect me to bail reckless people out for building in areas even insurance companies won't touch. If private industry won't bail them out why should we be expected to?
Wow, strawman arguments. I'm impressed!
