It really is a wonder that people still act in a way that is so archaic and wrong.  I hope they catch those responsible.

it is no cause for wonder - not in Louisianna.   there isn't much hope that things will get better there very quickly either, not with with all the corruption resulting in $10 billion in anti-poverty aid ( Hurricane aid not included in this figure) in the past 8 years wasted, elected representatives taking bribes, 80% illigitimate births among teens, 40% among adults, no cap on welfare increases for each additional child,  26% of adults can't read at all,  and 70% of those have no job or only a part time low paying one, and New Orleans with a murder rate of 7 to 10 times the national average.  The Feds had to take over the New Orleans Police Department a couple years ago because cops were doing murders, robberys and drug sales ... ON DUTY.   The state is a shambles.

Sounds like Loo-ze-anna is starting to resemble a third world country.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

southern louisiana perhaps, then again some congressman out west recently accused miami of being a banana republic.  true to form local leaders here threatened his life.  there is no cure for congenital stupidity and it simply affects a certain percentage of all humanity.

You're right.  I read into it a little too deeply.
