Interesting read. I live 8 miles south of Monroe, Michigan and I have yet to see any species wreck anything like homo sapiens has on the Louisiana Mississippi delta. Perhaps when the "great" New Orleans flood happens in 5 or so years, we'll quit worrying about oil or politics elsewhere (real big buildings too). Here's hoping anyway ;)
