There is the filth that is mardi gras, and 10's of thousands of people who mooch of the government and live in poverty, by choice.
RR, I know this is off topic... but have you ever been to mardi gras? Granted there is the party that goes on the french quarter (which was actually a lot of fun when I was younger)... but the main focus of mardi gras is not what you think it is. It's really a religious and cultural festival focused on parades.
I've spent quite a bit of time in New Orleans for various work functions (they used to have a lot of convetions down there). It really is a very christian area.
I'm pretty sure there aren't 10s of thousands of people who live in poverty by choice... but that's another discussion.
There is no denying that NO is an area with a lot of poverty.
Seriously..... you would probably enjoy mardi gras (not the french quarter part, which really isn't mardi gras... that's for partiers like me!)...
