I was watching the news for a bit and caught the tail-end of a segment reminiscing about the contrast in the relief effort from the first time New Orleans was hit by a hurricane to the second. My thoughts are simple. There should not have been a second effort.

Note to people that keep rebuilding in New Orleans: MOVE. If you’re not bright enough to realize that you live in the worst possible location [globally] for flooding, you don’t deserve any aid from the government (aka, our tax money). Harsh, maybe. But true, do the math.

One day you’re standing on top of your mobile home surrounded by a lake that was once the city you inhabited. Where do you find the logic to think to yourself, “I reckon this is a good place to rebuild, and live once more.” — Those people shouldn’t be allowed to think for themselves. Or how about the original mastermind that drew up the blueprints for a city, below sea-level surrounded by THE OCEAN.

Take a step back and check yourself NO. (Yes, I abbreviated New Orleans, and I’ll do it again if I have to.)
