New Orleans shouldn’t be rebuilt

Editor,

The Bush administrations response to the recent hurricanes is a predictable manifestation of its shortsighted dim-witted ways. Resemblant of last century’s linear paradigm, the administration fails to see the complexity of nature and instead invests fictionary money into dull engineering solutions only to perpetuate and compound tragedy. Why was the flooding in New Orleans so disastrous? Because it was built on a delta, you stinking idiots. A delta which has not been able to replenish itself, in fact, because its river has levees- of course the city is going to sink! Face it: some places on the planet are simply not suited to mainstream civilization. Big rivers are not supposed to be levied, dammed, or dredged, and the resulting disastrous effects upon humans are only a peripheral reason why. Hundred year storms are named such for implicit reasons. To rebuild any civilization in such disaster- prone areas with government funds is to subsidize tragedy. See, old G. W. is going to lay down a lot of bucks but the result will be, within the next hundred years, another disaster. So the true humanitarian will have nothing to do with another city being built in such areas. But such misguided dull solutions are to be expected from a pea-brained administration composed of ass-kissing drones unfamiliar with the concept of generations and sustainability, aren’t they?
