Tiff also addressed this issue when she said, In hindsight it is stupid to plan a city that is below sea level and situated at the floodplain of one of the largest rivers in the world, missisippi river.

  2. Might I also add Venice and Amsterdam were stupid ideas. Damn those morons!

  3. Venice and Amsterdam are trying hard.

  4. That doesn’t mean its stupid idea. Human endeavor and ingenuity mean that places like Venice can be preserved. Its a beautiful place (although a bit smelly)! I want to go there again.

  5. I posted the link because I don’t think it’s a stupid idea.

  6. Ok then! And hopely once normalcy returns at New Orleans, they will try to recover instead of rebuilding everything as Hastert was suggesting. I do find it unlikely though.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
