Another big catch is yes the oil companies benefited from the canals but so did the state and any other royalty holder, laborer, supplier,banker and so down the line. Where do you stop when looking for someone to pay for this? Once this can gets opened you will nevet put all the worms back. Trying to"save" NO instead of building a port somewhere between Natchez and Houma 125 years ago would have avoided all this but was not politicaly possible at the time. I am sure our current leadership will do nothing or try to kick it down the road a while to avoid doing anything or offending anyone.

Obviously, hindsight is 20/20. We can't go back a couple of centuries and redo what's been done.

But I completely agree, and fear, that the can will be kicked down the road far enough to where the powers-that-be of today can pass along a bigger problem to the leaders of the future. I mean, i'm 39 and I've been hearing about coastal erosion since I can remember. People much older than me can probably say the same. Yet it seems like we're always in the midst of "studies" and nothing much seems to get done.
