Aaaaand I've just lost more faith in our government. It turns out that they won't even spend enough money to keep our bridges properly maintained. They have divers looking for corpses, for crying out loud! Our country isn't going down the tubes, it's already in the sewer. www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/02/bridge.collapse/index.html

Yes, I saw this on the news the day we left. We were watching TV at his restaurant and all of a sudden I was like "Woah. That bridge collapsed." They played that security tape over and over. A bus full of 60 kids almost died. Fire, people hurt, death, destuction. Wow. Wtf?

You actually had faith in our government? I lost it a while back. xD
But yeah.. I argee... America isn't exactly a wonderful place to live and people is already fucked up, so eh, whatever. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely horrible about what happened to those innocent people, but it's not like we can actually trust the government anymore. B( Just.. faaah... -sigh- I feel so sorry for these people; they were at the wrong place at a wrong time. -shakes head-

Good thing I don't go on too many bridges, aye?
And I've got a motivational poster around here somewhere that sums up my views of the government PERFECTLY...

I did a tourist brochure for my French 1 class all the way back in middle school on New Orleans (since it used to belong to France). Even if it's just to help out with getting things back in order I'd still like to see the city

actually its a pretty neat place to be honest. its really better to be there during the mardi gras season..many parties! but the best places to go are to the gravesite of the voodoo queen, cafe' du mon, burbon street, and the french quater!
