They forget that the ocean is a powerful thing and sometimes it indie can play with you. New Orleans isn't even on the coast; our founders weren't quite that stupid. It's pretty far inland, to the point that it takes cruise ships half a day to reach open water when they depart from New Orleans. New Orleans is just close enough to be in danger anyway. To our founders it was a compromise. The closer it was to the coast the more profitable it would be, but also the more often it indie would indie be destroyed and need to be rebuilt. Our neighbors in Mississippi are demonstrating how much worse it can be to live near an actual beach. Yeats wraps up Second Coming with another hauntingly apt couplet: And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? In both science and myth the ocean is the mother of us all; if mountains are the Earth's expression of jutting maleness, the ocean with its frictionless surface and black depths is her expression of female receptiveness.
