If my entire perception of Louisiana was due to my experiences with the folks across the border, and everywhere else in Louisiana I've dealt with, I could only tell you that it's full of the finest folks in the World. In fact, if I used only the fine folks in New Orleans I've dealt with as examples, I'd have the same perception. <BR/><BR/>The politicians, and entitlement parasites in New Orleans are what drives the piss-poor attitude people have of the city. It's tragic that the the people that produce the least and whine the most have been picked as representative of the city. I'm thinking the good people there need to throw these mouth breathers into the Mississippi, except I don't think we could afford the environmental clean-up.<BR/><BR/>JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839984573757505963.post-59280133874754053612008-06-18T09:25:00.000-05:002008-06-18T09:25:00.000-05:00I agree with you AD, pre Katrina New Orleans had a...I agree with you AD, pre Katrina New Orleans had all the influence. I know that Rita tore up my hometown and my parents lost their house in Ragley.<BR/><BR/>But the simple fact is that Louisiana is judged by outsiders by what happened in New Orleans during Katrina.<BR/><BR/>Every natural disaster since Katrina has proven that La has serious problems. Hell, they even voted Nagin back in. They have shown their true colors.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544712404353766634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839984573757505963.post-61160736730513655122008-06-18T01:48:00.000-05:002008-06-18T01:48:00.000-05:00You make the assumption that the rest of us from L...You make the assumption that the rest of us from Louisiana actually consider New Orleans a *part* of Louisiana.<BR/><BR/>We don't. <BR/><BR/>For a long time, as New Orleans went, so went the rest of the state. Not so any more. Post Katrina, New Orleans has no influence and tons of bad reputation.<BR/><BR/>Good riddance, sez I.<BR/><BR/>Rita devastated southwest Louisiana pretty badly, but we've long since quit whining, rebuilt and moved on.Ambulance Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175419709184526342noreply@blogger.com
