Colloquium Blog 7

I briefly talked with my sister about the dead zone just off the coast of New Orleans. She used to live there so I was curious how aware of it she was. She said pretty much everyone in New Orleans knows about it but their attitude is "it is what it is". It seems like people don't really think about it because they can't really do anything directly or immediately about it. Obviously that is not a good outlook on a bad situation but it was interesting to learn about how the people nearest the situation react to it.
