ayoubSo the hurricane damage in New Orleans was preventable...
It reminds me of this quote; Did you know we're sitting on 2 million gallons of fuel, a nuclear weapon and a thing with 270,000 loose parts that was built by the lowest bidder. Kinda makes you feel good don't it? (go on, name the movie)
Sadly, it's an all too common thing these days, everything has to be built quicker and cheaper, so there's always going to be a sacrifice. And the honest workers and craftsmen who pour a bit of themselves into their work to make it the best, will eventually fade away...
Life is only as good as the lowest common denominator.
I need to cheer up.

Is mired neck-deep in an unwholesome bog,
Experience, like the rising of the dawn,
Reveals the path that he should not have gone.
