When all of New Orleans is under water level with Lake Pontchartrain, how, and to where, are they ever going to get it out, particularly given the status of the lands to the south and east already?
How much is it going to cost to get the water out?
And after it's been under that much water for that long, what will be worth the expense? To have a place to build where it can all happen again?
These may be rhetorical, even Zen questions. But now that what the Mayor has called "the point of no return" has been crossed to be unable to keep the bowl from filling, what's going to be there is a filled bowl. Is anybody really confronting the cost and time to get the water back out--and what, really will remain?
It sort of seems that all comparisons being made are to things not even remotely comparable.
