Yup. If a wise man builds his house on a rock, and a fool builds his house on sand, and the storm comes and washes the home built on sand away, THEN the fool rebuilds in the same spot...What is he then?
Don't hate on me, that's from the Bible, except for the rebuild part. New Orleans, it's time to fight, f#@* or run, I'd run.
