Excuse me, so why do you subscribe to the parish website? Is it to continue
to pursue your American dream?

this is exactly why the parish has had and will continue to have the
problems they have brought upon themselves. you CANNOT discriminate.
just
because someone doesn't want to own or can't afford to own a home,
you don't
have the right to tell them where they can or cannot live. why this
is
downright unamerican and even more it is discrimination in its most
powerful
and illegalistic forms. i know because i went through this exact
thing in a
wonderful and settled chalmette subdivision. i was actually told by
several
st. bernard deputies that because i was a renter that i had no
rights.
needless to say that i did find out that i did have the same rights
as any
homeowner in that block and we went to court to prove it. and when
we
received our just dues we decided that st. bernard just wasn't the
place
that we wanted to raise our children or to pursue our american dream
of
life, liberty, and happiness. so, guess what, we left the parish for
good.
and we found a beautiful area where we could raise our children and
live in
peace and harmony despite the differences in races, colors, or
creeds. i
thank the good lord that he gave me the wherewithal to not turn a
blind eye
or a deaf ear to those who are in need just because i have it and
they
don't. oops, there i go again. sorry for the rant. GOD BLESS and
KEEP THE
FAITH
