~Editilla Crow'tellas~ Cain Burdeau is on my shit list ya'heard. This article is actually bogus and he of all Corps "journalists" should know how biased it appears. This PR Fluff Piece of spin'filtration lays out everything I've read in Corps press-release-articles surrounding Their system-wide failure of the MS River to maintain depth. While I agree it isn't nice to Fuck With Mother Nature, I get down-right testy when the Corps fucks with my sense of Human Nature --the will to survive. This entire system of theirs is failing, not because of age or failure of local management but, in many cases, by the same bad design that victimized New Orleans.
