To the nola.com commenters: the most troubling thing of all is that the number of murders or robberies actually has almost nothing to do with the “effectiveness” of the police, the judges, the politicians or the District Attorney. Think about it.

“In an 1892 game against its archrival, Yale, the Harvard football team was the first to deploy a “flying wedge,” based on Napoleon’s surprise concentrations of military force. In an editorial calling for the abolition of the play, The New York Times described it as “half a ton of bone and muscle coming into collision with a man weighing 160 or 170 pounds,” noting that surgeons often had to be called onto the field. Three years later, the continuing mayhem prompted the Harvard faculty to take the first of two votes to abolish football. Charles Eliot, the university’s president, brought up other concerns. “Deaths and injuries are not the strongest argument against football,” declared Eliot. “That cheating and brutality are profitable is the main evil.” Still, Harvard football persisted. In 1903, fervent alumni built Harvard Stadium with zero college funds. The team’s first paid head coach, Bill Reid, started in 1905 at nearly twice the average salary for a full professor.”

Grumpy Old Man here. Yes, many are casually mentioning ”Ghost Town” by the Specials in response to the riots of 2011. But the question is this: When Brixton lit up back in the day, it produced this masterpiece. Will anything even remotely as brilliant be produced in response to Notting Hill? Answer: no. Get off of my lawn!
