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.

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.
