The indignity is just beginning.
Why? Two words: eminent domain.

Once the waters have receded, it will be decided that the highest use to which the land can be put is casinos. Expect the poor, in many cases, never to return home. Where they once lived will be casinos as far as the eye can see. Does anyone want to bet (so to speak) that Frank Fahrenkopf, president of the American Gaming Association (what they call gaming is what everyone else calls gambling) and former chairman of the Republican National Committee, isn't making all the necessary phone calls to bring this about?
