Plotting the Future

Revealing piece from the Wall Street Journal via Common Dreams cuts to the chase on New Orleans' future: there will be tampering with the city's demographics. Let's put it this way...they won't exactly be rolling out the red carpet for the poor folk to come back. I expect this to turn into some kind of neocon social experiment -- New Orleans as "boutique city" for the tourist trade. Pull quote: "Calvin Fayard, a wealthy white plaintiffs' lawyer ... says the mass evacuation could turn a Democratic stronghold into a Republican one. Mr. Fayard, a prominent Democratic fund-raiser, says tampering with the city's demographics means tampering with its unique culture and shouldn't be done. 'People can't survive a year temporarily -- they'll go somewhere, get a job and never come back,' he says."
