I guess you guys down in the dangling state could have it worse.....

Look at New Orleans for example: Elevation -6.5 to 20 ft (-2 to 6 m). Surrounded by water, with elevation in areas of -6',.......Hmmmmm.....sounds like a great place to build a city.

On the drive from the airport to the hotel on a visit to New Orleans, I noticed that the cemetery we passed had no tombstones marking the usual grave sites, just above ground mausoleums.  Wondered about it for a bit on the ride before I figured it out.

I bet they don't have many homes with basements either.....probably not in FL either.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

What do you call an engineer who designs a city six feet below sea level, and  fills it with liberals and welfare babies?

As a bonus he was French..... ::)
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Let me be the one to point out that as messed up as the French may be, it wasn't the French quarter that flooded, even they were smart enough to build a little bit above river level

Lets not forget the fact that its sinking a fraction of a inch ever year. 


I've talked with many people that lived around that area... pretty much all of them agree NO is nothing but drunks and whores.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Some may dismiss Florida as even being in the South, but Jefferson Davis had a home here, so we have some claim to Southerness. 

Highest natural point in the state is just over 400 feet above sea level.  Now, that right there is flat.


Florida is nothing more than Minnesota's retirement community.   ;D
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

Florida is just a place where old people go to die.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.
