After Katrina New Orleans has a New Stadium - I guess Reconstructing Peoples Homes Can Wait til Later - Its Football Season After All…
THE CONSTANT SKEPTICs THOUGHTS ON THE NEW STADIUM IN NEW ORLEANS ADMIST THE HALF-REBUILT RUINS OF A GREAT TOWN:
A very good post by Keeping Tabs on Keith Olbermann talks about how the New Orleans Saints have a new stadium ready for this Monday night’s big first game there.
Also a post about how New Orleans sold out their season tickets for the first time ever…..
what is this gonna be - trickle down revenue to pay for rebuilding costs? Or money grubbing investors sacking the ruined city and buying up everything in sight while everything is relatively cheap?
Active Rain’s Post states that: ESPN’s Joe Theismann says it best:
“I do believe in my heart of hearts that this region does not get enough of the attention that it deserves. I think that people feel like, ‘OK, Bourbon Street is back up, the French Quarter is back up, New Orleans is back.’ It’s my job and it’s our job to tell the world that New Orleans still has a long way to go.”
Active-rain also states that the Lower 9th, St. Bernard, Plaquemines are still devastated residential areas.
But of course, the rich get richer, and the poor move out or drown and get their bodies tagged and implanted with RFID devices for tracking/identification purposes, as I posted back in 2005, not to mention good PR for the company, who didn’t charge FEMA for the use of the implants, which usually run +100$ each, how nice of them, don’t you think?
But nothing stands in the way of good-clean double-think, thought-controlled - American FOOTBALL!!
