SADNESS PREVAILS

It has been a while, since we have posted on this site. However, last night the Brigade gathered on the verandah for the beginning of our summer socials. The proverbial gin and tonics were served but we noted that some of the gentlemen were requesting Southern Comfort Manhattans on the rocks. We discussed the nearly six years since Katrina and the times before and what we have seen in our lives. Much, dears, much. However, our concerns last night came down to the present and the situation in the Police Department, the raging Mississippi River, and the opening of the spillways. Yes the department should be fully investigated and we were seriously concerned by the recent questions regarding Marvin Difillo. However, all of City Hall and all departments must be completely investigated. We have seen the destruction of nature throughout this nation and we find ourselves dwelling again on Katrina and it destructive power created by man made levees giving way. Now we watch as the spillways are opened and see those desperately trying to save their homes as they water will slowly extend over a large area in South Louisiana. Our prayers and thoughts were with them and will remain with them as they recover. However, in general a sadness still prevails for the city that could be but will not be for quite a while. We still wait for a new Nouvelle Orleans, a city of greatness, a city of unity, and a city of hope. However, the generations of hate, ignorance, immorality, lack of true leadership, etc. caused its decay and will continue to do so until all people realize that we can unify and we can be the Queen City of The South.
