  He's no chicken, he's an ostrich...

  So...you're insinuating that the head of a major U.S. automotive has his head up his behind?  We're shocked, simply shocked.  Let's see; last time I checked, G.M.'s stock was down nealy 1% for the day's trading, 31% for the past 12 months, and 53% from 5 years ago.  Hmmm...do we see any correlation between the idiotic, ostrich-position thinking that people like Bob Lutz exhibit and the gasping decline of the American automotive industry?   Of course we do.  Mr. Lutz and his ilk have their fingers firmly in their ears (not easy to do when one's thumb is so busily engaged elsewhere) while they stomp their tiny feet and turn red in the face while screaming at the top of their lungs that climate change, `Is not is not is not is not is not.....'

  Of course, none of this addresses the real keystone problem, which is overpopulation.  Until someone is willing to bell THAT cat, every other measure is just a half-step.

  Feed your head . . . but watch out for junk food!

  For another look

  at the relationship between the delta marshes and the levees, read 'The Control of Nature' by the redoubtable John McPhee.  This 1989 Book is the one that first sparked my interest . . . 12 years after I left New Orleans.  

  In response to Sindark, Does anyone know what the cost for NOT redirecting the silt flow would look like?  Sadly, yes, we do.
