Someone needs to bump that techweenie record-player . ..it seems to be broken. . .stuck on the same track.


Back on the topic, of positive effects. . .

Per the NY Daily Times:

"By almost every statistical measure, New Orleans is a bad place to be poor. Half the city's households make less than $28,000 a year, and 28% of the population lives in poverty.

"And Louisiana is the only one of the 50 states where the state legislature doesn't allocate money to pay for the legal defense of indigent defendants. The Associated Press reported this year that it's not unusual for poor people charged with crimes to stay in jail for nine months before getting a lawyer appointed."


Again, sadly, Cuba would fit these people perfectly. . . .keeping them poor and kept.
Yet, fourtunately, they are being spread out in to other (hopefully/likely better) working communities accross the nation.
