[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by gabe I am not aware of the fact that the levies in question have anything to do with navigation or that building them X feet tall as opposed to X-10 feet tall would have any effect whatsoever on navigation.[/quote] Levees are installed on the Mississippi to contain the river for navigation purposes as well as for flood control. This is a fact and restating the same question will not chance the answer. Its by definition. Visit the Army Corp of Engineers website. [quote]QUOTE: so, why should federal funds pay for something that protects the city of New Orleans?[/quote] Because 1/5 of the comerece of the United States passes through the Port of New Orleans. [quote]QUOTE: If my back yard is in danger of flooding, I have the responsibility to pay for it, not my fellow tax payers.[/quote] Your back yard and the Port of New Orleans are two completely different situation and are not comparable. I think I smell a false analogy above?[:D] This is kinda fun Gabe, thanks. Jim
