I've been wanting to post this on this board for a while, but as a graduate of LSMSA in the thick of this fight, I thought best to stay away.

I am absolutely disgusted by the politicians in this state, especially Francis Thompson and Gerald Long.

They are both bald-faced liars and political hacks. This is nothing more than sheer grandstanding on their part, and their dismissal of the alumni and the opposition was farcical.

I take personal affront at the actions of the so-called representatives on the education committee who voted in favor of the bill in the face of Long's threats, and I am especially disappointed in Chris Broadwater, who to great lengths to ignore his constituents to help Thompson and Long.

Long I give a pass. For his brother and the fact the has lost a lot in a short period. And he is term-limited.

Broadwater, I know and normally am very supportive of him. He was VERY disappointing. But not much to be done as he will probably run unopposed.

Francis Thompson. What can I say but frick him and his corrupt arse. He is term limited BUT has said he is going to switch and run for the House. A GREAT opportunity for supporters of LSMSA to fund whoever he runs against. Thompson said he has been in politics for over 40 years. That's long enough.

And would said a great message not to frick with the alumni.

Curious what year did you graduate?

I am also a grad ... but, I am out of this fight.

I am disgusted with LA politicians ... and, that's the main reason why I am glad that I no longer live there...and really have no desire to return ... other than to visit family and eat some good food.

If they change the name, they will never get one fricking dime from me.

I will save all my LSMSA gear as collector's items and sell at the first opportunity ... even though pretty much no one will want it.

I will still go to my reunion next year, though.

Natchitoches ain't what it used to be...not for me, anyway.

In summary: leave LSMSA alone. It already is a good school with a good name. It has many grads that have made LA proud. It has generous grads. Everyone knows the impact of Jimmy Long. Name the fricken new dorm after him or something. Leave the school name alone.
