Nice - I am a social worker in New Orleans and my colleagues know how I (very angrily) feel about this odd infrastructure, where among other things, every disaster is seen as an opportunity to entice federal funds, developers, or industry looking for subsidy... I also lived in Mobile, AL when the BP Oil Spill happened. I can really get wordy about these things, so I'll just stop there.
Are you from around the gulf?
