I'm fricking mad. I don't understand why we elect retards here and we let people run things like shite. My push for this information may seem like I'm just stacking the deck against what we have here, but I'm telling you - my entire motivation is geared to wake people up before it's too late.

Ever since the Louisiana Purchase New Orleans and Louisiana has been the most insular and provincial major Southern city and state. The Americans who came after the LA Purchase didn't change New Orleans and Louisiana they adapted to it.

Louisiana is still a place where personal relationships and family ties that go back centuries carry more weight than outside innovation or leadership or outside money. People in New Orleans care more about where you went to high school than where you went to college.

NOLA at the mouth and Delta of the Mississippi should be one of the largest cities in the country attracting outside people and ideas since it's a port city with connections to the world. Instead it remains insular and self-contained and different and that is part of its charm.

The urban area at the beginning of the Mississippi Minneapolis-St. Paul has double the people of NOLA and a much healthier and diverse economy. NOLA has a culture that prizes the old ways and how things have been done and when your family came to NOLA versus what your family can do in NOLA.
