Suppose my neighbor built his home in the path of a old railroad. Trains don't come by often, but sooner or later, BAM! A train goes through his living room, destroying everything. The insurance company says, "hey, fire and earthquate, sure, but we TOLD you a train runs through there!" They're not paying. So my neighbor comes to me and says, "be a sport and build me a new house." I might get a hundred people together to volunteer their time out of Christian charity; I could try to convince Sears to give them beautiful new appliances, I possibly would give of my own pocket to see that they were in out of the cold. But you know, I definitely wouldn't be such an idiot as to help them rebuild the house right on the same railroad tracks.
And for that matter, why would I prop up Nagin, a racist? If I said, “Cincinnati is a vanilla city, and it should be more so! Whites forever!” do you think the MSM would hang me twisting in the wind?
- I guess it just must be my MN "foundation" that makes me agree with you completely!
LOL, you've summed up New Orleans very well! I've been there a few times and this is exactly what I observed. It's a shame, because it IS a really pretty and charming place.
