Why does the federal government have to fork over money to rebuild New Orleans? What about the people who choose to live in a city that’s below sea level in an area prone to hurricanes?
I notice that the cartoonist gave the media caricature a nose suspiciously like the snout of a pig.
Fitting.
And I agree, it is madness to build a city in a vile, pestiferous slough to begin with, let alone a swampy sump that must be artificially drained in order to conceal its identity as a death trap. It is worse than madness to rebuild a city in such a place. One lesson should suffice.
Let those who want to court destruction and death in such a place finance their recklessness themselves.
