"Phoenix and New Orleans will become ruins we visit in the future"

[Atman]

Simon Winchester was just on CNN talking about the all the havok going on around the world, and pointed out the lunacy of ever building in places like New Orleans in the first place. But he went a bit further than that, and it should really cause one to stop and think. He said not only New Orleans, but Phoenix and even San Francisco, will one day be merely ruins that we visit as historical sites.

Kind of a freaky scenerio when one considers the number of people living in these cities. But, he said, between SF's major earthquake faults, Phoenix's lack of water, and NO's obvious excess of same and below-sea-level location, they're virtually assured to be eliminated by nature, probably in the not-too-distant future.

Enjoy your day!
