I am with you on your post. And so very glad to see your name here.

I'm now convinced that this is going to be fully equivalent to 9/11. I'm hoping that the death toll isn't as high as some are warning, but it is clear to me that the we have on the order of a million Americans, and associated workplaces, who are going to require our attention. I'm more and more speechless contemplating the magnitude of this seminal event in our history.

I am thinking,,why the promises "NO will be rebuilt",,why the rush to fix the levees?

There needs to be a serious thought about whether to rebuild or not. And if rebuilding, how to do it.

I like the Venice idea. And those lagoons in Venice are filthy so we wouldn't even have to worry about the water, just the mosquitoes.

"I'm now convinced that this is going to be fully equivalent to 9/11."

Agreed and then some... It's becoming more apparent by the hour that the aftermath left by Katrina may in some ways dwarf that of 9/11.
