Word from the floor. Includes this mysterious rumor, I mean surely not:
11:22 Now I’m speaking to someone else, another woman, who says some people report having witnessed “bomb sounds,” believe 17th street levee and others were blown up to manage water flow and protect more valuable portions of real estate.
Evacuee Dianne Stafford: “They blew the levee to save the city…” Saying a barge broke the levee. She is from St. Bernard Parish. “More expensive places were saved at the expense of the neighborhoods that aren’t as valuable… Rebuilding Bourbon Street matters more to the government… that’s what mattered to Governor Blanco…”

Every time i mention the word "gun" someone waves this fucking ten-commandments wannabe piece of paper that says they "are allowed to have a gun", but no one cares when slightly more important things go missing from this piece of paper. You know, like your freedom from being jailed for no reason.

Healthcare is a killer in the US. The sick can't afford it, aren't well enough to put in the long hours to get the jobs that cover them, so witout cover they get sicker. This is much more subtle than any eugenics program, and delightfully, it's NOT GW BUSH's fault. It's your fault. Every american dead and alive for the last two hundred years, you let this nation come to this. I will bring you popcorn as you watch each other die in the streets.

Design your own first person shooter. Maybe make one called "Escape from New Orleans." (it's only a matter of time, until it happens for real. And the telemovies! All you aspiring actors out there better get your louisiana accents ready.)
