Today on the local news one of the guys from the Krewe of Rex really summed it up as to why we really needed to keep Mardi Gras this year.
He said that he was totally oposed to Mardi Gras this year, did not see a reason why we should have it with the city in shambles... untill he got on the float and saw the smiles on the kids faces. The children changed his mind. He then said that it is our job as adults to give these kids a sense of normalsy (SP) in a time of turmoil. Mardi Gras is normal to the children of N.O. and canceling it would have taken away the chance for the kids of N.O. to just feel normal again. |
