Not to take anything away from Gambit's 40under40 issue, but there is another 40 list I'd like to point out.
As of today, (at least) 41 people under the age of 21 have been murdered in the city of New Orleans in 2007.

Just think about it. Instead of going to high school or college, they are dead. Nine in Central City alone.
And going by Greg Rigamer's new population estimates, New Orleans' murder rate for 2007 is 74 murders per 100,000 residents. 182 reported murders to date.
