Knock it off, James!  You know I hate it when we agree!

And this has become a whole society of people with demands. Were NOLA not 
populated with sheople who *expected* someone/everyone else to do their 
thinking for them and to provide for them, a large portion of the current 
mess could have been avoided.

Just like the100 mile long traffic jam.  I sat shaking my head in disbelief 
as I saw dozens of 4x4s sitting there.  I wouldn't have been in the mess to 
begin with but IF I had been, I wouldn't have sat quietly while I was in a 
4x4.  Locking hubs would have been engaged and I would have made my own 
road!
