Holland has 2 major cities below sea level. Amsterdam and
Roterdam.
One big difference is that Holland doesn't have huricanes.
Another is the moral and work ethics of the people.
Talked today via Email to a Dutch SWLer who lurks in this group
and he pointed out that while the Dutch government has it's share
of idiots, unlike LA general and New Orleans in specific, thier
politicians are pretty clean (cooruption wise) and also rather
competent.
The Dutch have evacuation plans and FORCE residents to participate.
When a breach occurs the Dutch will likely do pretty well. They have
lived below the sea for ~400 years and have learned the hard way that
you have to think things out, make effective plans and execute them
when something bad happens. IF NEw Orleans was 1/10 as orgnaised as
teh Dtuch, there would have been no problem.

As to lving below a damn, yea that is pretty damn dumb. The Mulholland
impoundment failed in Californica and it killed several hundred back in
the 1930's or so. US damndsby and by are well built and fairly safe.
But
last spring, in Californica again, a city had to be evaucuated because
heavy rainfall had causeed the empoundment to rise threatening to
crest the damn. They got the water edown, wiht no major trouble, but
it was scarey for a while.

As to cities on the moon,or other hostile planets, I doubt that will
happen for a while. With todays technology only the truely dedicated
and brave will live in a "space statio" or even fly on the shuttle. OK
strike brave because if NASA called me tonight and asked me to take
a SW receiver up in the shultte and study ionosphreic RF leakage.

Many in this group doubt your wisdom, but tell us, do you live BELOW
sea level? With 800K other poeple? In an area with too few roads in
and out? Do you have enough water and food on hand to get by the few
days needed unti outside help could arrive?

As to Venis (did you really mean Venice?), I have been there and yea
they are idiots. To live in a poop filled city,the order is there, that
is
sinking every year, only the really stupid live there. The only thing
it
has is some wonderfull art.

Mexico City risks? Other then being the capital of a hostile nation,
run by poeple that make New Orleans look like a honor brain trust.
And the corruption makes New Orleans cops look like BoyScouts.
My friends who were raised there all speak of how vile and ugly
Mexico City is. So for an Anglo to live there, yea would be pretty
damn stupid.

How does one force them to participate? Hold a gun to their head?

My understanding is that their levee system is much large in scope, and that
the districts surrounded by levees are smaller, thus limiting losses.

Thing is though,Lousiana is losing many thousands of acres of land
(wetlands in South Louisiana,do some research on that,and the
Mississippi Gulf Coast is man made) every year due to natural erosion.No
telling how much of that land Katrina wiped out.

Yep,I mispelled Venice.I remember seeing a Movietone news reel in the
Paramount theater that used to be on Capitol Street here in Jackson.It
was back in the 1950's when I sat there and I watched that Movietone
news reel with my little hazel blue/green eyeballs (our eyeballs are the
same size eyeballs we were born with) and the Movietone news reel was
about the Nederlands (Is your Dutch buddy lurking now?) Queen Wilhemina
-- (spelling) Now,that auld broad really was "crackers".She would make
klintoon (if she were alive today) look like a Saint by comparison.

Real simple, the idiots who choose to live BELOW sea level.
The same idiots who lived below sea level protected by a

You probably blame a woman for getting raped too.

They are still victims. If a woman gets raped there is a mentality that she
asked for it because she dressed too sexually, or was in the park jogging at
night, or she flirted with a guy and he took it as a go signal. Would you
say that a woman had the choice of wearing something less sexual and
therefore it's her choice to get raped? Or that she shouldn't flirt
because she then made a choice to get raped?

If I walk outside and get mugged, is it my fault? I made a choice to leave
my apartment so it's my fault. I made a choice to live in a not so nice
area so it's my fault.

It is every Man,Woman,and Child for themselves.Depend on fed govt? fed
govt has shown us for hundreds of years what a disaster they are!
