Someday,there will be underwater Cities under the Seas/Oceans.We will have Bases on the Moon and on Mars.Are they idiots,there are people right now living in the International Space Station? Are the people in the Nederlands and Venis,Italy and Mexico City,Mexico and people who live downstream from big Dams idiots? cuhulin ------------------------ 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. Terry |
