bump and a prayer for Big Easyans
What happened to NO during Bonnie a couple years ago? Was it bad damage? It hit New Iberia I think.
Now back to Patton s's points:
Are you saying that Louisiana does not have Corrupt Politics?
Edwin Edwards, David Duke and Bob Livingston all go on my list as being quite corrupt.
The area has a crime rate much higher than New York or any other major city except for maybe Detroit.
The pubic education system is a disaster.
The eonomy and way of life in New Orleans is more like a Third World Nation than like most cities in the United States.
I have lived in cities in the third world and I have lived in New Orleans. They are very much the same.
However, if you were to read the entirety of my post you would see that I love New Orleans very much but I can see its faults too.
