#3 I recall a N'Orl'ns' politician being asked why city cops were paid so low. His reply, "They make it up in bribes."

Can't say I support rebuilding the city as it was. Maintaining sections that are 20 feet below sea level makes no sense at all. Those were also the high crime/shoot-whitey-on-sight wards that I avoided like the plague.

#4 "failure to maintain" is a valid criticism, but the Army Corps staff and the contractors who never embedded the sheetpiling to correct depths should all be in prison
