Study: Louisiana Slowly Slipping into the Gulf of Mexico

Calling for the restoring of the population of New Orleans has become the politically correct thing to say. What these people don't realize is that it's unsafe for them to return, no matter how nice a thought it might seem:
A new report by scientists studying Louisiana's sinking coast says the land here is not just sinking, it's sliding ever so slowly into the Gulf of Mexico. The new findings may add a kink to plans being drawn up to build bigger and better levees to protect this historic city and Cajun bayou culture.

To put it bluntly, celebrities, and particularly politicians, are playing politics with the lives of those whom are returning. Prior to Katrina it was known that New Orleans was vulnerable to a powerful hurricane. Nothing was done before just as nothing was done after Katrina. Now this tragedy is being compounded by sentimentality perpetuated by a media that is interested only in a good story.
