Understanding vs. groking

Every time I've ever been to New Orleans (which is my favorite U.S. city to go to for conventions), some local or tour guide or waiter would say, "You know, New Orleans is completely below sea level.  One day the levee is gonna break, the pumps will get flooded and we'll just become another lake with nowhere for the water to go."  It's remarkable how something could be so completely expected and yet still so shocking when it finally happens.

Lets do like Japan and put an airport where it will slowly sink into oblivion.
On a less sarcastic note, rebuilidng the city to have canals like Venice would be interesting. Not to mention it would save Mr. Bush some money (not that he cares). Oh yah, we can afford anything we want until at least 2008.

P.S. Grokking has two "K's" (badly worded headline?) teeheehee
