Well I came to comment no this:

>> “I think this work is necessary. We have to protect the population of New Orleans,”

Not that I like either option, but I'd rather my tax dollars be spent on relocating these people than fighting an eternal war against the inevitable march of nature. Can I do anything personally about it? Not really. Certainly far less than any individual who lives there. But if my taxes are going to be used to help, then please help in a way that is more effective than doing the same stupid thing (building below sea level) that they've been doing for a hundred years.
