I've got an even BETTER idea! Let's pull out the tropps and put CINDY in charge of New Orleans! And since I am sure she abhors firearms, DON'T let her have one of the nasty things to defend herself. Let HER march in bravely and have a dialogue with the gangs. Boy, I'd love to be a little rat in the sludge of the city watching that one!
Hell, she'd make the mayor and governor look competent!
