.....in bad neighborhoods, near funeral homes, airports, heliports, hoverports, all other ports in general, near or on ancient indian burial grounds, refinery’s, chemical plants, power lines, in 3rd world countries, Israel, Gaza Strip, Muslim countries, Texas border, Arizona Border, New Mexico border, California border, or any other national border, hackensack new jersey, within the proximity of any nuclear power/weapons facility, area’s 1 through 476, where there is no rainfall, where there is rainfall, where there is too much rainfall, snow, ice, pollen, pollution, people, animals, flora, fauna, saunas, asian spas, bars, tiddy bars, jails, liquor stores, homeowners associations for american flags, against american flags, or any other entity not in agreement with your particular politics. I think this covers it - oh and Ithaca, New York.

I question the sanity of those that question the sanity of living below sea level without having the same opinions about living: on an earthquake fault line, near a location prone to forest fires, mudslides, avalanches, tornados, flooding rivers, blizzards, extreme heat or cold spells, etc.

Its the SEA stupid, 12ft below at that

Turn New Orleans back to the ocean marsh, the world will be better off just ask master-weather-man-algore

Bend over, hard working taxpaying folks. We are about to get it again because if they aren’t working/established over a year later, then we are still going to have to fork over our money to them just as we ALWAYS have. Nothing will ever change. You can tell them another Hurricane is coming right at them and they will still set there and whine “poor me”

The people who aren’t on their feet yet are the ones that have been taken care of for generations by the gubmint. Unfortunately, N.O. has MANY of those types.
