"The place is a bowl" = New Orleans. OK, but the rest of South Louisiana isn't a bowl. And the wetlands didn't just disappear on their own.

They've been chewed up by crewboats going out to the rigs, and loggers cutting down cypress trees to make paper.

It's a very fragile ecology, but the people who should be protecting it are destroying it, or allowing it to be destroyed, to put a few bucks into their pockets today, forget about tomorrow.

Republicans used to be in the forefront of conservation. Conservation used to be one of the bedrocks of conservatism. All over the world, it's the Leftists who destroyed the environment the worst.

We need to make a stand to save the environment, and it's a very unpopular stand among Republicans, because Republicans favor business and capitalism. But there won't be any place for business and capitalism to take place if the environment is destroyed.

Nobody has the right to use their private property in a way that endangers the safety of others.
