re: You have not shown that it is necessary or economically beneficial to the common good to re-build NO as it was. The same could be said for any town in the US. The "common good" is beyond mere economics, it's a spirit of citizenship, of community. When a little town in Wisconsin gets wasted by a tornado, it's not a national or economic tragedy... but as a society we stick together and help them rebuild. The little town in Wisconsin that was home to a bunch of good folks... we can identify with that, we can imagine losing our home town, we know we are more powerful if we work together. We are all Americans, we tend to help each other because we are good people. New Orleans has a big part in US history; and it's unique in the country and the world. It was a treasure for many, many reasons. Do you rebuild it exactly "as it was", no. You couldn't if you tried. But we do help our own... not just because we could be the next that need help, but because that's what a civilized society does. Of course we do... we're good people, we help our neighbors. I would be happy to do the same for you, if you and your home city were in need. John
