13. Louisiana doesn't need a Kickstarter...

Tragedies don't get kickstarters.

They need a class-action lawsuit by thousands of indigent defenders to go 7-1 at SCOTUS legally bitch-slapping them for billions.

Give me a Kickstarter page to back that lawsuit, not to keep the lights on. Let Jindal's system burn to the ground. Otherwise it's just throwing good money after bad.

So glad the push is on in NY for the state to take over the system, the standards and the funding.
