I offered in a letter to Council members that tearing down buildings, and "re-developing" them would be easy once they get past today's vote. Much more difficult would be repairing the mistrust that's been sewn in the community because proper consensus building and, yes, public relations, hasn't been done. This was one of the worst days in New Orleans history, in my humble estimation, due in large part to the agitators who, although they may have had something to say, and served a narrow purpose, have caused more harm than good by their incendiary behavior. They have harmed, more than helped, the cause of the poor, turning them once again into victims by making them seem like a problem, rather than deserving of compassion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-70786600503722117252007-12-20T22:01:00.000-06:002007-12-20T22:01:00.000-06:00I fear you are right, Celsus.
