What's up with all of the foreign language blogs on this site? No offense or anything, but this blog originates in the United States. Or does it?
Poor New Orleans got soaked again. And they still think it's a good idea to put all the houses and buildings back where they were? About how many times should we do that? Two, five? I know it's hard to lose your home, but why the hell would you want to put yourself back in harm's way? Go someplace that isn't right smack dab in the path of hurricanes and that isn't below sea level and that doesn't border a lake held back by levies. Knowing the government, it won't be rebuilt in my lifetime anyway. Anyone who is displaced should take this as an opportunity to get the hell out of there and start a new life somewhere else. There is a kid who came to Illinois from New Orleans. He is in school here. He was not able to bring his saxaphone with him so he got 4 saxaphones from people here. He is in the marching band and having a really good time. A month ago, if you had asked him if he wanted to move away, he would have said no. Now? This might be a good thing.
