By the way...It's CRIMINAL what's going on down in New Orleans!
New Orleans to Demolish Thousands of ‘Poor’ Homes

"Demolition crews will now move in to dismantle the 4,500 brick buildings that generations of poor people lived in. The outburst of violence came amid concerns that the authorities intend to reduce the numbers of predominantly poor, black people living in New Orleans."
"“It is beyond callous, and can only be seen as malicious discrimination,” said Kali Akuno of the Coalition to Stop the Demolition. “It is an unabashed attempt to eliminate the black population of New Orleans.”"
"Shortly after Katrina struck, the Republican Congressman Richard Baker told lobbyists in a Baton Rough Red Cross shelter: “We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn’t do it, but God did.”"
