Provocative Thought: Mr. Bush, Tear Down This Levee

This blogger says, "Mr. Bush, tear down this levee." Using federal monies to buy up New Orleans at pre-Katrina prices makes a lot more sense than using those same dollars to rebuild a city which is apt to be taken out by hurricanes, or the Mississippi, or the lake anyway. Compassion alone would indicate it appropriate not to certify that a dangerous and ultimately uninhabitable place can be rebuilt. That's what the engineers seem to be saying anyway.
