As a NYer, and even though this is liberal lala land, it is composed of the useful idiots (i.e. limosine liberals)... not so much the "liberal exploited" as you see in New Orleans.
I am shocked at the poverty down there and the total lack of personal responsibility on the part of people. Sure NY has poverty problems but NY's "ghettos" are in the past 10 years or so overwhelmingly populated by hard-working latin america/carribean immigrants.
We are finally seeing the truth- that LBJ ruined generations of people.
