Finding the Devil in New Orleans

Well, you know, it would be okay if they'd rebuild it taking into consideration the advise of ecologists, geographers, urban planners, etc. Have 'em all read tw's Scientific American article first. I know, in my wildest dreams! I imagine they'll salvage the French Quarter and places like Loyola and Tulane. You gotta keep in mind that Halliburten jumped right on the gravey train, as usual, so we'll probably see a lot of highly expensive, ultimately worthless construction. We'll have a New Orleans with a smaller population than the old one, and I bet not much done when it comes to wise planning. But, hell, I'm just a cynic.
