A scary thought
Meanwhile, back at home I read the headlines and they are still stuck in death death death. Someone is killing someone every day in New Orleans. The New York Times this morning said that there is going to be a major overhaul of the police system – but the whole system is rotten from the top down. Someone commented, where is Vice President Jindal while this is all going on – you tell me.
Here in Spain what’s rotten is the trash on the streets – normally the City that Smiles (Cadiz) has trash pick up daily, but the trash collectors went on strike to protest the fact that the dock workers who are preparing for the Tall Ships (that actually started in New Orleans) are getting paid more than them – so no trash pick up, stinky, stinky, stinky.
But what stinks more is New Orleans and the police corruption and political corruption that has colored our grand city since the get go. Sure they could perhaps put some procedures in place to clean up the corruption but wouldn’t it be better if every young black male had an opportunity and saw another way out rather than depending on the federal government to clean up the city government?
Bless you boys – you deserve better.
