I have never been to Trinidad, but I grew up in New Orleans, and spent most of my life in South Louisiana in one place or another. It is very corrupt, and there is too much decay. Corruption in the sense of judges, cops, taking bribes, looking the other way for the right price, even an occasional hit by a cop for the right price.

Here there is corruption, too, but it's very different - even though defense contractors occasionally charge the government $900 for a toilet, there are whistleblower statutes that not only encourage people to come forward and denounce corrupt contractors, they are rewarded a percentage if the case is proved. Political corruption is the constant fodder of Washington journalism. Nobody looks the other way.

This is an excellent place to raise children, I think. And I should think at your age and your wife's age, that would be the main reason you'd pick a place to live. What values will they imbibe with the air they breath?
