This is the only opportunity they'll ever have to get all of the underclass people out of the city and revamp the tax base of new orleans.

BVF, you are right on the money again!
Governor ordered the entire city evacuated. I think what they're going to do is set up tents and trailers way out in the outback somewhere.
Paul Waters, the city would literally have to be scoured to add that much soil support. Too many buildings of historical value to do that. The ONLY thing they can do is what Japan did to protect themselves and that's build huge ass dykes. Problem is it would obscure the view I guess. 30ft high would be the way. Surrounding the entire city would be an engineering task for the ACOE ( Army Corps of Engineers ).
This disaster changes the face of how we are going to live on this planet.
The Tsunami was a primary example. It hit poor people and poor real estate. Mostly poor people died. Just like Hurricane Mitch killed almost 20,000 a few years back but nobody cared cause they were poor. That's the importance of what BVF is saying. Nobody is going to care if a bunch of poor black people get moved from their homes.
The drug trade is going to get it's ass kicked because of this storm. But you know what? I'll bet dope will get the high priority of rerouting and surveillance protection long before the people get aid.
BVF, I'm glad you stood up and spoke your piece. This disaster is about getting real and reality says if you're poor and black you're fucked.
Case in point, just watch the news. The other day they showed a little white girl who rode out the storm on a shrimp boat. People from all over the planet wrote into the the tv station to find out how she was doing. Today they showed a premature black baby girl who is on oxygen and heart monitor but no electricity so it's on batteries. She may not last another 24 hours. I'll betcha' nobody writes in or starts a campaign to see how she does.
