A little insensitive to say that to a guy who had aggressive Diharrea for 2 weeks.

Asshole.

I thought that was strictly a German thing, not normally associated with lesbians.

It's not all about you.

Dude - Winnipeg has a very nice diversion that goes around the city to protect it from floods.  Unfortunately though it's all excellent and fertile soil, which is now very dubious for farming (since in any year there's a possible flood the land gets flooded).

You don't get to choose where you build a damn or a diversion - geography dictates it.  And unfortunately there is no place in North Dakota or southern Manitoba that isn't good farm land.

So rather than spend hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe we'll just let the nice ducks live in their existing wetlands?

You can build levees and the like, but it's a losing battle.  Eventually it'll flood, anything on the other side of the levee will be destroyed.  I saw whole houses washed away back in 93.  Floods are amazingly powerful.  I remember steel girders twisted out of shape by flood waters.  The downside to wetlands is they tend to stink and you get a lot of mosquitoes and that can breed insect borne disease, though it's not as big a problem as it once was.

Nobody knows more about flooding than someone from Winnipeg.

I expect the Republicans to do well, which will be a disaster in the short term, but might be beneficial in the long term.  If Republican thought can result in severe damage to the United States, perhaps they can be eliminated.

in the U.S., there's lots of rural areas. tons. there's no fear it'll all get swallowed up by exponentially expanding population centers.

That would require an exponentially expanding population. Though it's not such a distant possibility in the East. For instance, look at the reach of the Atlanta metro area:

I'm not sure how to respond to LaCroix...wetlands are an incredibly important part of the environment and also very vulnerable, but LaCroix apparently doesn't see any intrinsic value in that...
