Living in Louisiana [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]Jack was sitting in an airplane when another guy took the seat beside him. The new guy was a wreck, pale, hands shaking,moaning in fear. "Hey what's the matter?" Jack asked. "Oh man. I've been transferred to Louisiana," the other guy answered. "There's crazy people in Louisiana. They have shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, the highest crime rate." "Hold on," Jack interrupted. "I've lived in Louisiana all my life. It is not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a good school and it's as safe as anywhere in the world." The other passenger relaxed and stopped shaking for a moment and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?" "Me?" said Jack. "I'm a tail gunner on a Coca-Cola truck in New Orleans."[/FONT] <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: postbit_signature -->[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]_____________[/FONT]
What makes you think this is new? About ten years ago my agency sent me down there for almost a year, one weekend they had three cops killed in two seperate incidents, and they led the nation in muder per capita.
I know it's not new. Though Post-Katrina is a good excuse to doze it into the sea. NO died many years back. It's like a giant vegetable that they keep trying to beat life into. NO is like a cancer that is spreading throughout Louisiana. Baton Rouge and NO are totally ate up with it. Soon it will spread north and then start branching out to entwine with all the other various tumors spreading across America. And what do they do in NO after that fiasco of a hurricane? Elect the idiot mayor again. Guess those idiots want more of the same as he is one of them, just in office.
