Neither justifies the other. It aint cute...at all.
I am sick and tired of feeling used and abused as a peaceful tax paying citizen who just wants to go to work, raise my family and love my neighbor. I hate having to weigh the balance of raising my children away from their immediate family versus eating the abuse here in town every...freakin...year. It's wrong. This is not how a city of this 'status' should be.
Now, I realize that we voted this immoral and corrupt ignoramus into office. That's a cultural problem. But at what point do the sane people cut bait and move to no where, America to have a fighting chance of something resembling a fair shake? Mardi Gras and the Saints aren't enough to make up for the deficiencies anymore.
