The ridiculous violence in N.O.

Times have changed, and it's sad, but most of the issue is poverty. You live in that atmosphere, it's not easy, or good for that matter.

Not just in New Orleans, it's everywhere. Thing that gets me is the meth addiction. I've had a branch of my family lost to addiction of that crap, blowing up meth labs and trafficking, it's so screwed up.

It's hard to argue poverty when kids from middle class families are doing this too. I think poverty is only a peripheral issue. The causes are complex and varies from person to person.

I think a lack of morality, low value of life and a loss of identity due to the breakdown of family support has as much to do with what's happening than financial circumstances.
