I wish there was a way to prevent my tax dollars from going to it.
Unfortunately I don't believe there is. The rats have definately taken over the ship in that corrupt and depraved city. We used to go there occasionally (it's about a 3 hour drive to the French Quarter from here) but that place had become such a seething cesspool of crime and depravity it was just not worth the 6 hours on the road anymore. I have not been to a Mardi Gras there in over 20 years. Forget going to Algiers. No sane white person would ever venture across the bridge to that pit any more.
