"New Orleans is putting itself back together, but I wonder how you rebuild a culture without so many of the people who formed the culture in the first place. There was a lot of energy that came from the old neighborhoods where people of modest means lived. You can play the music, make the food, and even put on an impressive Mardi Gras. But what will it mean without the life and energy of those who lived there and are now gone?" -- Gordon Atkinson, aka Real Live Preacher, 2009-01-19

[Perhaps also relevant, whitehouse.gov: "President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. [...]"]

Reminds me of the stupid logging companies that want to cut
down old growth forests & plant geometrical patches of trash
pine & then act all astonished when the forest doesn't spring
back in 5 years.
