"You don't have anything to worry about"

I often remark on the de-humanizing and stifling effects of New Orleans's tourist-plantation economy on its working class as its leaders fall all over themselves to fellate the profiteers of this industry. I can't imagine a better example of this than Nagin's remarks to a group of cruise line executives yesterday. One of the main reasons nothing gets done about the crime problem is that, in your leaders' eyes, the important people (business owners and their tourist clients) aren't the people getting blipped.
