I saw an interesting History/Discover/The Learning Channel/PBS (I have a hard 
time keeping those channels apart) show about the heroic efforts to keep New 
Orleans dry particularly from the Mississippi river.  Some of which obviously 
failed this past week.  

Basically Mother Nature really, really, really wants New Orleans to be 
underwater right now.  If we had not stepped in decades ago to try and thawart 
her, it would be by now.  It is an interesting man & technology vs. nature 
struggle.  And I'm not sure that I don't agree with those that say it is a 
loosing struggle.
