I think not. |

I think it should be rebuilt, but not too the same degree it once was. In other words, recreate the atmosphere, but on a smaller scale. |

Absolutely! It is the most awesome city in the world, other than maybe Amsterdam and Vancouver, and it has major historic significance. You can't put New Orleans in a new location. Any city in a different location wouldn't be New Orleans. Too much cool stuff has happened where it is right now for it to not be built back in its real place. But this time, that damn levee needs to be built to withstand a category 5 hurricane, not just a category 3. Leaving that levee in the state it was in, even after the Discovery Channel did a documentary years ago on how a category 4 hurricane would break the levee and flood New Orleans, is possibly the most irresponsible thing I have ever heard of. |

I think it is poposturous to even think about rebuilding. If they were to rebuild the majority of the city on higher ground then the wetlands thet they had destroyed in the first place would act as a very good buffer zone for hurricanes. Granted the levees may have not been up to standard. But that in itself ais a great expense that would not need to be a burden on the goevernment or should I say us John Q tax payer. |

"There are two types of people in this world, people who think there are two types of people, and people who don't."
But Howetzer, that's like saying Not to rebuild New York if it gets wiped off the face of the earth by a nuclear strike. A city like New Orleans is a great and (as stated by someone else) significant part of our nation's history. Simply the idea of it should be enough for John Q not to mind contributing to the cause. A part of America's heart is in New Orleans. Who better to contribute the (relatively small) monetary (sp) sacrifice than those who wish to proclaim their nationalism. What would you do with it? Leave it as a barren wasteland? A marsh? What about all those people who's entire bloodline goes back through the years of New Orleans existence? I can only speak for myself, but I'd feel, morally, like I was abandoning my brother in a time when we're supposed to be lifting each other's morale and showing that whatever oppressed (sp) us couldn't keep us down. |

The industrial complex and port needs to be rebuilt. I'm getting hurt every day since much of my product was landed in the port of NO. |

Yes it should be rebuilt. But this time make the levee system better, increase the number of water pumps in the city and create a system that would ensure the pumps work through a storm whether power goes out or not. Also it would be a great idea to not build anymore housing projects. |

The decision has already been made to rebuild it. |

I am reminded of a Monty Python skit. |

Yeah! What he said! Remember - it's all free money! It's not like it's going to cost me anything! [/sarcasm] |

I still think it should be rebuilt, but I guess I'm a bit biased since I can appreciate the city itself and all the different characteristics that make it New Orleans. |

Besides, if we don't rebuild New Orleans, the bead industry would suffer greatly. |

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
Personally I think New Orleans didn't get flooded enough. I think it really ought to be wiped off the map. Sure, that sounds mean, but it was a pretty lame city anyway. If it weren't for Mardi Gras no one would care. Besides, New Orleans was actually started by escaped criminals and ex-convicts as a place to hide out. Then the town developed. So it's really a city of sludge before and after |

Never stop searching for truth. In your search you may think you have found it, and perhaps you have, but if you hold on tightly to a single thread it will fray and it's greater meaning will become lost. There is always more truth stretching deep beneath the surface that promises to reveal ever greater the infinite, interwoven fabric of truth, woven in the looms of Heaven.
