Flooded land

I listened to the news and also in the paper where people have been flooded out of their home. I talked to a local official about agreeing to putting homes in flooded home. It seems that realters have so much power that that they can put homes in any flood plain that they want- anything just to sell a house. I remember my sister -in - law telling me about homes that was put in flood plain along side the Missisippi River in Wisconsin. I talked to my niece today and asked her about that area whether it was under water. She said it was and the homes were flooded out and fact some of the homes were washed off the cliffs. Does not the flood plain have some rights. These rights mean that Nature should have more priority over people as Nature will take over regardless. I remember a few years ago- the Federal Government refused to pay any more money to people along the Ohio River. Several towns got moved away from the Ohio River. When are Local officials going to have gut and turn down these construction people from putting houses, etc in Flood Plain. They do it right here in Kansas and then cry when their houses are flooded out. Is it not time when Nature is listened to. It is just like a few years ago - I wrote a paper abouting letting grass grow and not cutting it out by Cheney Resoivoir so that Wichita would have clean water to drink. It stated that it would I am guessing - 5 million toward clean drinking water. I remember a few years ago - the Wichita Eagle put out some booklets that Baffalo and or Long Horn cattle would be better to raise than White face for the climate and the amount of rain fall. This is not about flood plain but in away it as a flood plain is needed around Cheney if we are to have clean drinking water. We have to live with Nature otherwise = Nature will win over the population and we will pay more than double just we are having in New Orleans. Better wuit as usual am starting to Ramble- Just think I could be a good writer if I could stick to the subject closer. Don
