It’s a fitting symbol for New Orleans, a crime-riddled city that spits on its own history and heritage and embraces useless, empty substitutes. A narcissistic mayor and his leftist eggers-on took down beautiful monuments of people significant to the city’s past. I think the death and ruin represented by the collapsed building is a great new replacement monument to the reality of New Orleans today.
Why, after Hurricane Katrina, were federal funds used to rebuild a long-doomed New Orleans?
