My Life Be Like…

Cliff makes some controversial points in his post, by stating that the government did an excellent job of promoting the general welfare of the people. Although I have to say that I strongly agree with some of the topics that he discusses. Cliff writes:

The largest lesson from Katrina is about New Orleans.  In 2001, a Popular Mechanics article stated the dire situation New Orleans faced.  Interestingly enough, it was published on September 11, 2001, another tragic date in our history.  It is a foolish idea to be pumping time and money into a city that constantly is having water pumped out.  Hopefully, we will learn a lesson from this and not rebuild the city. 

I strongly agree with the point that he is making here. It is a known fact that New Orleans is situated below sea level, making it a catastrophic location for there to be a hurricane because flooding would be that much easier. So, I believe like Cliff, that we should not rebuild the city. Instead, it should be relocated to a different location with a higher elevation which would further protect the city from another disaster like Katrina.
