I had a thought the other day, as I have many, but this one is particularly callous. What if this is a natural order of things? For example Venice. Venice, would be underwater right now if the Italians had not gone and still go through such drastic measures to levy and damn the ever rising water and sinking city. I wonder if we stop to think that if we did not have the scientific smarts would we say it was an "act of God" and it is "God's will" that such things happen? We take such extreme measures to preserve and stay. What if we are not supposed to? If the shoes were on my feet maybe I would feel differently. I"ve not lived through a natural disaster, and I've been lucky to not have relatives in them either, so with this I'll admit my point of view is skewed.
So my point being that we know California is one day going to seperate at the San Andreas fault line and slid into the ocean. We even accept that fact. Yet we do not go out and try to build brackets to keep the seperation from happening. So what if this is the fate of New Orleans?

Oh my gosh -- that puffin picture has one of the most special puffins ever. IT HAS HUMAN TEETH!
