What a country of white collar criminals and crooks

I'm guessing another opportunity for white collar criminals is presenting itself with the situation in the gulf region.

Here's a blurb from a PBS show, American Experience, Fatal Flood, that is showing on my local PBS station today.

What goes around comes around, it seems.

In the spring of 1927, after weeks of incessant rains, the Mississippi River went on a rampage from Cairo, Illinois to New Orleans, inundating hundreds of towns, killing as many as a thousand people and leaving a million homeless. In Greenville, Mississippi, efforts to contain the river pitted the majority black population against an aristocratic plantation family, the Percys-and the Percys against themselves. A dramatic story of greed, power and race during one of America's greatest natural disasters.
