Save the stonewall to build the levees.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The answer to New Orleans's levee woes is painfully obvious: money and willpower.
And if citizens of New Orleans who are really contemplating coming back heard that we're really intent upon making the place secure again - regardless of whether the levees held or not - then I think a rebuilding process would really take shape.
We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.
Take the back roads instead of the highways.
We build too many walls and not enough bridges.
Instead of building walls, we should be building bridges.
I want a big house with a moat and dragons and a fort to keep people out.
Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone.
The federal government was responsible for building the levees, engineering the levees, and consequentially, the federal government is responsible for repairing the damage that has been done, which has not been completed yet.
With the stones we cast at them, geniuses build new roads with them.
