--------------Old Interstate-10 twin spans nearing an end; traffic moving to new bridges - - - By: Jeff Adelson, The Times-Picayune - - March 10, 2010, 7:14PM -- The largest public works project in state history, and a prominent sign of continuing efforts to recover from Hurricane Katrina, will begin its final phases Friday as crews begin moving all traffic off the old Interstate 10 twin spans and onto the new roadways that will replace the storm-wracked bridges.- - - - ----------- AM I TO TAKE IT THAT THE PROMINENT SIGN OF CONTINUING EFFORTS TO RECOVER FROM HURRICANE KATRINA HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF AS A WAY FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE TIRED OF THE CRAP ARE GOING TO SOON BE ABLE TO GET OUT THE CITY QUICKLY AND FIND BETTER PLACES TO ROOST? ---- Time - (Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour) 7:06 - - - Ticking away - the moments that make up a dull day …. You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way….. Kicking around - on a piece of ground - in your home town.... Waiting for someone or something to show you the way….. Tired of lying in the sunshine - staying home to watch the rain. … You are young - and life is long - and there is time to kill today… And then one day you find - ten years have got behind you. - No one told you when to run, - you missed the starting gun…….. . So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking - Racing around to come up behind you again…… The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, …. Shorter of breath - and one day closer to death…. Every year is getting shorter - never seem to find the time…. Plans that either come to naught- or half a page of scribbled lines… Hanging on in quiet - desperation is the English way … The time is gone, - the song is over, - Thought I'd something more to say…. Breathe (reprise) ---- 7:06 ------ Home, - home again. ….I like to be here when I can..... When I come home - cold and tired ..... It's good to warm my bones beside the fire…. Far away - across the field - The tolling of the iron bell - Calls the faithful to their knees - To hear the softly spoken magic spells…. Written by

You see folks, in order to keep people in their place, fuel prices rise, that way they won't try to migrate 'en masse' like the dust bowlers did back in the 20's and 30's. Second line to keep people in their place so they won't try to migrate 'en masse' is to make sure there is a housing shortage, and what housing there is available is at an exhorborant rental rate (look at New Orleans after over 100 billion has been pumped into it's 'economy' during the past 5 years and the suck is still going on) This way what jobs do remain, [at a bare minimum sustaining level I might add] are not jeopardized by an influx from outside. The next stage of the process is to replace the indeginous population with a more desireable population which of course, unknown to them, are to be taxed through the teeth to support the dependency faction of society......

And believe you me.... You can forget all that 'Who Dat' propoganda because 'tag - u iz it'... And there ain't no medical doctor going to fix this problem, and there ain't no LSD, er,,,, uhhhh...... LSU stricken genius going to fix dis problem.... It is up to us as a collective whole to find solutions... President Obama is now in office, and it is at this point in history like very few others we have experienced during our nations lifetime that we can change things and make a difference.... I hope that President Obama makes wise choices, I hope we as Americans and U.S. citizens make wise choices prosperous.... And I hope that our wonderful Governor Bobby Boy 'Jihad' Jindal pulls his head out of his arse, and that our Louisiana governing bodies and regulatory authorties do like wise so that able minded, and able bodied citizens can step up to the plate and use the wood for what it is really supposed to be used for, and that is hitting home runs...... Peace out and prosper if you are entitled to it or can make it happen.... Written by
