An exercise in futility is being in a class called "Geology for Engineers" and debating on flood management with the stance that the flood control structures in place (dams, levees, etc.) are not the most logical solution to the problem. I don't want to offend any engineers reading this, but you just have no common sense whatsoever. Let's just spend billions upon billions of dollars to build the biggest dam we can so that those people can live right on the river. And when it breaks, we'll spend billions more to build an even BIGGER dam!

*sigh*

Beating my head against a wall sounds better than debating against all of them when I'm outnumbered 20 to 1.
