Stupid Expectations

I've just been reading some of the news about the New Orleans recovery process. It seems that President Bush has vowed to rebuild the city. I sympathize with all of the displaced residents of New Orleans. To be sure, these people need a home. My question is: Is it such a wise idea to move back into harm's way? As far as we know, the city of New Orleans is sinking at least an inch every year. Which means that what Hurricane Katrina flooded over the past few weeks will become naturally submerged within the next century. Even after rebuilding the city and making it safe for its future children, businesses will be extremely reluctant to move back into such a high risk area. I lift up in my prayers the people of the south who have been placed in such deep distress. I also pray for the example of leadership that President Bush will establish during this time of crises and that the bureaucracy of Louisiana to take responsibility. Also, it seems that yet another San Francisco judge has ruled the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional. I especially enjoyed Jay Leno's monologue concerning American civil law and God's staunch position within it. You can watch the video from 09/15/05 here.
