No thank you, if I ever had kids, I wouldn't want them living like that, and I would do EVERYTHING in my power to prevent it. Nor would I want to live like that.

It's easy to say what you would do if you were in their situation but the truth of the matter is you have absolutely no idea what their situation is and what they're going through. A dramatic piece on cnn or fox news is not going to offer any insight whatsoever into the day to day lives of the people on the gulf coast and in N.O.
You can speculate and what I gather is that the majority of those affected by the hurricane were buttf ucked by p&c carriers like state farm, the government, the media, construction companies, etc. And from what I read in an article last night, the government is only alloting $5 billion of the $7.6 billion needed to rebuild the levees CORRECTLY and that the earliest they'll complete the project is 2015. To me, that is criminal that they're allowing people to rebuild when they can't even provide protection from another storm. It shows how inhumane our leaders are.
Moving doesn't solve the problem. Say if they move to a city like St. Louis and the New Madrid Fault goes nuts...they're f.ucked again.
