Bunk. It's not worth your life.
I didn’t die once. :)
and I’m certainly not making excuses for anyone in response to the guy who smells...something. What some of the people do and did there is unforgivable, that the democrats have been making certain parts of the populous there prone to buy into their victim mentalities, getting them dependant on welfare and not making the area appealing to do business in, less your business is connected to the tourism industry, is old news to me, and not a new contempt that washed in with katrina.
New Orleans is lovely though; there are a lot of good people there whom celebrate life and each other in daily generosity, courtesy and good will. Aside from some of the greatest people I have met, as I’ve traveled a little, the city its self is inspiring in its history, culture nature and architecture. And any republican, constitutionalist and libertarian should be able to appreciate the social structure the cajuns who still enjoy their independence in the communities deep in the swamp, far away and untouched from the crap currupt government running the state into the ground. If you’ve had the rare pleasure, you understand its charm.
