I was thinking that too but unfortunately the lower ninth had not really been thoroughly searched for dead bodies because in that neighborhood the flood waters had just barely receded by the time the second flood came. I guess though one could argue that there would not be as much raw sewage in the mix, since the people producing it are one way or another, all gone. What a fuckin mess. A lot of interesting imaginings about the future of New Orleans though. I heard Wynton Marsalis on CNN suggest a Bourbon street with serious jazz clubs instead of, and these are his words, "drunken frat boys" roaming wild. We can all dream I guess. A better New Orleans will not be just about what is now an inevitable removal from the list of world murder capitol
