"Dunce, the answer is abandon that city. It's already lost. It was lost when they decided to build a city BELOW SEA LEVEL with only dikes holding back the entire Atlantic Ocean. This was bound to happen eventually. If anyone is stupid enough to rebuild there, it will happen again. If I'm a CEO or upper level manager in a national company, would I rebuild there? Not a chance. If I suggested it, I should be fired and replaced. Save your hot air for someone stupid enough to be stupid enough to listen to you." Uh, isn't your president adamantly promising that NO will be rebuilt?

The lack of compassion by so many people here is almost as tragic as what I see on the streets of NO. The same people who scream at how stupid people are for building below sea level are the very same people who stomp their feet whenever the government tries to place a restriction on where they can build. .........Much of the Netherlands is below sea level. It's not just the town and people who have been impacted - but all of us as the lifeline of oil and NG from NO area have been restricted. I continue to be absolutely shocked at the slow response at the federal level! It's frightening and puzzling. steve
