Hemi:
Where are all the smart-ass comments now? Am I still insane, Malenko? Is it still understandable, Mark? Come on now, I'm waiting for all the great comments telling me how crazy I am. ;)
Surly someone will post soon. I will monitor this thread as to not miss a single post.

Seaports aren't as necessary as they used to be, you know. You don't need to replace those thousands of flooded out houses given that very few of those residents actually worked in the shipping industry. It's easy to rebuild a seaport. It's the massive sprawl of residences that is the problem.
Hemi, enlighten us as to why they can't be who they are 100 miles inland where they aren't in mortal danger every time a hurricane comes in. Is that specific patch of land more important than the people? Is that specific patch of land so important that people should die for no other reason than that they don't feel like moving?

You think it is understandable? I bet you wouldn't think it was understandable if you or your family lived there and lost most of their lives.

I bet I wouldn't want to move back to the place that killed my family when the town will most likely be destroyed again and again. The best way to honor your families death is to move on with your life, not to put your life in danger for sentimental reasons.

You seem to be making a lot of noise for someone who has bowed out of the argument. Also, try waiting more then 40 minutes before asking where the replies are, most people here have things going on in real life and don't spend all of their time on this forum.

This thread had 8 members looking in on it at the time of my bow out comment and they all thought better of it and left without posting.
