Lafourche Parish, Truth or Consequences?

FACTS:

The dubious reaction of the Lafourche Parish Council administration at the last Council Meeting, when questioned about the $5.3 million of flood control devices, relate to a historical quote. (see opinions below) 
The intellectual reaction of Dr. Lassigne appeared to be, “what, the rest of you (7 council members) just don’t care?”  The DA was in attendance, sitting like a potted plant he said very little, perhaps he was listening.  Maybe the DA will get out of what appears to be a defense mode and enter a prosecutor mode.  Maybe the DA feels he is off the hook, now that he has issued an opinion on the flood control devices.

OPINIONS:

An historical quote, by Adolph Hitler:  “A great mass of people (Lafourche Parish Citizens?) will more easily fall victim to a big lie (Lafourche Parish Council Administration?) than a small one (” if brought to my attention I will not put my head in the sand”, the DA?).”

It is easy to loose confidence in the whole political system. The system appears to be, me me me, me being the elected officials.  A quote by Jay Leno,  inspired me to keep searching for the truth.  “With hurricanes, tornadoes, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunder storms, tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?”

Stay in touch, eat Louisiana Shrimp, do not drink the politicians’ kool aid.
