However, more and more constitutional intrusions are being lawed into existence, ie, if you are a PASSENGER in a car and the passenger is drinking a beer, etc. Illegal. Illegal to sell some video games to minors now. Smoking with a child under 4'9'' in the car. Illegal. All these came in the last month.

The police, since we are still under emergency order, have become even more fascistic.

As for the city as whole, miles and miles and miles of dead houses.

But, yes, the quarter survived. Hell, there were a couple of places that NEVER CLOSED.

I never in my life thought I would leave this city. I can no longer say that.

How this city could re-elect one of the main people in it's demize would be completely beyond me, except, that it is a political black stronghold. The Kleptocrats could not allow that to change. If you count the votes, you win. What were the incumbents doing prior to the flood? Making laws to fine those that put out garbage before 4pm in the afternoon. The levee board was too busy raking in money from casinoes to be concerned about the levees.

So goes the Kleptocracy (Stolen Plutocracy).

My Best to You and Yours,
