Workinprogress Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 What happened in New Orleans is a terrible tale of human tragedy. It is also a tale of mankinds futile attempts at taming nature. NO is built on soft sediment, it is continously sinking as are all delta systems, the real reason NO is so far beneath water now is our fault, we didnt let the natural floods replentish the topsoil like would have naturally happened. Now on to my real point. Is it wrong for me to think about the possibility of inexpensive donor car parts and the like? BTW, I have donated money to the cause.

Confused Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 It is our fault. Without the mighty Mississippi River, the sediment had no time to replentish, as you stated earlier. As far as you being wrong or not for thinking about donor car parts and the like, as you put it, I wouldnt think so. But then again, I dont want to say to much, and lose respect or get flamed from the people on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Ooohhh.. that was subtle.. I know that it may have caused some on here to get riled up, but I felt I could speak my mind on this mater... regardless. This seams to be a tolerant place for the most part.. Someone's opinion is just that, and they're entitled to it. I agree it was a silly place to build a city.. and even more silly to ignore the problem as it got worse over the years..

HeatRaveR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Of course the priority is to save human lives down there. But I don't think it's wrong to think of saving Z's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
