Have you ever spent any real time there? ----------Makes one entertain thoughts that the sanest thing to do would be to turn the French Quarter into a theme park and return the rest to precious nature. Clearly you do not understand that precious nature is seeking to reclaim what was hers. The sanest thing to do is to rebuild the coastal prairies and wetlands. The French quarter is just the bling bling of the economic engine that is New Orleans. Without the port, the Central part of the US of A will die, whither on the vine. Most of America's grain goes through New Orleans. Rice, wheat and corn. Steel in, (usta be out) Petroleum, cars, motorcycles in and out. whew. Amazing place. New Orleans is far more than a place for people to drink Hurricanes. If you do not recognize that you just don't get it. The problems in New Orleans are mostly the responsibility of the Corps of Engineers, and the Levee boards. It did not help the city (in the Katrina thing) that they voted overwhelmingly Demo in the last election.
