NOLA had a culture of crime and curruption that would make any Mid East Sand Savage Sheik feel quite at home.
Until that changes, and I see no real signs indicating that it will, of what use is pumping money into the corruption?
At the risk of being called callous and unfeeling, wasn't Rep. Crockett right when he said that Congress couldn't give money belonging to one man to another for any charitable purpose, as such was not allowed in the Constitution he read and understood?
With all the tax money going into NOLA, the emergency pumps didn't have proper, reliable emergency power sources AND the operators were told to leave.
are you really suggesting that the half million people, human beings, who lived in NO were all criminals and corrupt?
If you are, you are indeed a fool.
And NO has a culture that is far wider than crime and corruption. As do most cities.
