...this chance again in our lifetimes. I've described this as the fourth boom cycle in my lifetime in Louisiana. We had an oil boom, a gambling boom, and a health care boom. Whether this is being caused by the hurricane recovery or the oil and gas economy, it's another boom. There's over a billion-dollar surplus. The last three times there was a boom cycle, Louisiana in general invested those dollars in instant gratification. We didn't make investments in cutting taxes and investing in education. We didn't make the kinds of reforms we needed...
...happening in Louisiana today. We're the only state in the South where people are moving out faster than they're moving in. Every year we're losing about 30,000 of our people.

Forests, especially in the lush tropics, suck and store carbon, which is released when trees are cut down or burnt. At the current rate of destruction, deforestation is estimated to account for up to 20% of human...
...another pair of immigrants trying to assimilate into an alien culture in a vain attempt to make ends meet. While Amir was once the only owner of a Mustang in all of Kabul, he is now reduced to servicing others’ Mustangs from behind the counter of a gas station. These scenes could be vignettes from any twentieth-century immigrant’s life in the U.S., and in this respect the film’s themes strike a slightly more universal note than the particulars of the narrative might suggest.The movie has received a fair amount of attention...
