Len, it was good to see you at the Tulane Environmental Law Conference. I see that you have a great website here. You know that I am likely to post some outrageous comments once I have had time to study some of the things you have online (but then how would the world ever progress if there were not some of us with weird ideas lurking beneath very thick skins!) Oh, first comment: I think the April Fool Article "The Coast is Toast" is closer to being a reality than it is a joke (especially since I live on high ground, not north enough to be Yankeed, but the folks here do deeply resent money being spent on the Deathtrap New Orleans. They consider Brad Pitt's "rebuild" efforts in that city to be "bad parenting" because it draws the slaves and their children back into town for the next drowning episode. Orleans Denial cannot continue to rule. Mike Tritico
