He's the mayor. If there are drugs washing in and out of his city, who's fault is that? If there is general lawlessness, who's fault is that? If he issues a mandatory evacuation and nobody listens to him, who's fault is that?
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. No one else will know, so you won't be fooling anyone but yourself if you if you give anything but a truthful answer.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.
Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line. Here's the situation: You are in Florida; Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is flood of biblical proportions.
You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury. Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer ... somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is.
It's George W. Bush, President of the United States!! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under ... forever. You have two options-you can save the life of G. W. Bush, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men. So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
dude. he's the mayor. its his city. he cant just punt it off to the federal government and be like "here, you deal with it."
You think a city like NOLA has the proper resources for this shit on it's RICHEST day? You are high. I am not sayin' dude shouldn't shoulder some of this, but it would be like blaming Anthony Williams for the attacks on DC on 9/11. It's straight bullshit. This is why you have a Fed, man. Unlike a lot of other mayors, I bet, at least dude stayed with his ship. You need to think a minit before you post, junior.
Yeah. you don't want any differing opinions that might get your undies all knotted.
Its so much harder to back up your rants than to just spout them.
majoring difference between offering a different opinion and just being inflamatory hommie
trust me I know (see nearly every damn post I've thrown up here in the last year or so)
wow. can i be you.
First offer some assistance. Then you can run your big mouth all you want.
How do you know I haven't. Because I didnt brag about here? Don't be so sure. Do you really know me? Maybe you just think that you do? Its like an mystery wrapped in an enigma. Like unraveling a big cableknit sweater that someone keeps knitting ... and knitting....and knitting!

You should focus on a more realistic goal, such as acquiring enough brain power to improve your mental capacity to a mere "mentally retarded" instead of "severely mentally retarded."
definitely laughing at you, not with you...but stick around, i'm enjoying your presence and privileged, self centered cynicism
philly is next
Dude:
Look, I know you have your opinion but please show some compassion for our people and their plight. The N.O. catastrophe survivors are your brothers and sisters in this human strugggle. Capiche?
Since you obviously share so much cool music, cover art research and information you can surely be a kind and outstanding contributor to our forum!

"BOUT SABADABADA:
Welcome to Sabadabada! For over ten years I have been buying Bossa Nova, Balanco and Samba records from Brazil. My own personal preference has lead me to concentrate on those albums recorded in the 1960's. As a collector with no Portuguese language skills, it has often been difficult for me to find information on the many gifted and exciting artists of this period, so I'm sharing what I've managed to learn through this website in hopes that you will find it useful and entertaining.
Like most collectors, I began with the premise that you "CAN judge a book by its cover," and purchased those LPs with striking cover art. For this reason I have included an extensive gallery of cover art I think you will enjoy. Later on, I expanded my collection by concentrating on those record labels that consistently pressed LPs that I enjoyed, and found this to be the most consistent benchmark of quality. On the labels page I have cataloged my collection by label and issue number to assist you with your own collecting.
Most importantly, I want to share the music with you, so going forward I will be transferring my LPs to digital format and posting as much of it as will fit here for your listening pleasure. Unfortunately, none of my original LPs are for sale, but please feel free to download whatever you like and to contact me with requests for future conversions.
Finally, I hope that all of you will leave comments for me with your opinions and suggestions and perhaps help me find some of the records that have eluded me to date.
With all that being said, thank you for visiting and enjoy!"

First off. That joke at the end of page one is really funny.
Second off. I already have made a contribution through the building where I work for the people in New Orleans.
Third off. I'm very entertained by the complete titty-attacks that everyone gets into when I question their lunatic conspiracy theory political views. I thought this was a music site. I don't post political threads here, but damned if I'll pass up on the free show.
That ain't right. Let's not wish this shit on folks.
SAYING!
Philly and N.O. (and its residents) are both 2 of the most amazing cities in the USA. Why anyone would wish destruction upon them is beyond my comprehension.

You're a dick. That part we get, asshole. Why don't you do us all a huge favor and blow back outta here the way you came in.

Dude, I'm feeling very nice today... so I have to say it twice:

I wouldn't argue your points of view - you're entitled to them - they're your right. People get into debates about all this politics stuff & shit gets heated, but saying "Philly is next" is not a POV, not an opinion. Its making light of human suffering. I've got no beef with you, but a comment like that underminds anything you are trying to say.

Ray Nagin is my my newest hero. REALSPEAK is SOOOOOOO Refreshing !!! We NEED these type of folks in Charge.[/b]
update: i just saw another interview with nagin, just after he got out of a meeting with the LA governor and pres bush. he seemed clearly less frustrated and more optimistic. he says today was the first day where there was a constant flow of effort and progess was being made. situation is still horrific, but i hope that things will begin to turn around this weekend (finally!).

Yeah, that sounds cool. Thanks for wasting people's time and energy, junior.

I'm glad I took Tony's advice and didn't waste the time. Life has a funny way of evening itself out.
Good luck out there!
