	Absolutely. I don't support money going to rebuilding NO in it's 
present spot.

	The French Quarter is okay where it is. It will eventually become an 
island, and should last for quite a while yet. Seems like a charming way 
to get to Mardi Gras - by a boat.

	But no matter how much money we pour into th erest of NO, it will sink. 
I suppose that we could try a Netherlands type approach, with  huge 
dikes and all, but I doubt that there is enough room on the sides to do 
that, and besides, the Netherlands doesn't have to worry about 
hurricanes either.
