Google the management team for Carnival. Look at the CEO's background. A New York liberal likes what he sees on Carnival ships. To him this fight is a meaningless aberration.

I've been front row at Metallica, and the Stones.

I saw Warrant in the mid 90s in a former strip club when all the glory had faded and they were just out there for fun.

But getting older, at this point I'll take a good tribute band in a bar or club.
Taking down the PGT equestrian monument in front of City Park was an absolute disgrace. He was from here and did a lot for the city. Same goes for taking down the Davis statue. He died here and had friends and a big presence here particularly after the War.

Back to the OP, there is still a prominent Confederate monument in Oxford, MS right on the town square. The Union Army burned Oxford in 1864.
Second option, easily. Industrialization was the biggest change to human existence.

Saw him play at Live Bait on River Road in Nola many years ago.
I've been posting for years that tort reform is just hand lotion as long as the billboard lawyers get to file full blown lawsuits on every claim. We need review panels to pre-assess every auto claim, like what we have in med mal. Stop the frivolous claims, which are most of them, on the front end before they get into the court system.
You don't get to go on a free luxury hunting trip and then not do anything for the sponsors. It's like the car ride home after a fancy dinner date.
So China doesn't want to see anymore Marvel movies with ensemble casts? I'm not sure I blame them.

Yes, and 2007 is the same time John Kennedy became a "Republican" as well. That wasn't that long ago and it was done out of political convenience not a change in philosophy. Those politicians could see the writing on the wall that LA was going red. Just ten years earlier Bill Clinton won the state for the second time.

Preach.

Increasing the SOL to two years was one of the dumbest tort reforms I've ever heard of. One of the few advantages the defense bar has in this state is the laziness of most plaintiff lawyers. Their most common mistake by far is waiting too late to file suit. So we voluntarily give them another 12 months to get their act together? Only in Louisiana.

I had a second hand set of world books from the early 70s that I used in the early to mid 90s in middle in high school. The Internet came about my senior year and that was all she wrote for physical encyclopedias. And really any type of reference book for that matter. I had a dictionary and thesaurus that were obsolete overnight.
We call that crowd loserville. Trust me kids, you do not want to end up there.
LOL. You must work at the plaintiff law firm from Corbello. So how much cleaner is that land all these years later? I'm sure all those millions went into remediation...

These legacy lawsuit lawyers are like OJ Simpson's dream team. Bottom feeders masquerading as Perry Mason for a day. No class.
What's sad is that Louisiana has laws on the books, most notably a Civil Code prescription article concerning immovable property, which prohibit litigating ancient events. But the judiciary is in on the game too. There won't be any relief up the appellate ladder.

This whole thing is so backwards and embarrassing.
This is all about making a small handful of plaintiff lawyers ultra wealthy. These lawsuits won't do a damn thing for the Louisiana environment and will only drive away oil and gas business. It's so backwards. Rino Louisiana Republicans.
Which Reily? That's a fifth or sixth generation company at this point. Lots of slices in that pie.

Outfield bleachers. SEC price, high school feel.
If it is I'd like to see her character and fitness report.
John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, come on down.
