Hello Everybody,

JG>In Louisiana, it seems to be limited to 2 particular parks...

What 2 particular parks might those be?
Are they private parks, family-members only?
Or are they public parks, free for all?
Of course, if they are private parks, only
the very wealthy could afford them anyway.
Which might explain why there are only 2
particular parks - that only a select few
even know about.  So please fill us in.

JG>Granted, I can't repeat enough that it seems to be the
JG>greater the population, the more problems with violance
JG>and sexual preditors.

The safest city in the world is reputed to be Beijing, China.
What is the population of China?  And what about India?  Oh, those
places must be filled with violence and sexual predators, according
to your theory.  And yet Beijing successfully hosted the Summer
Olympics, including welcoming US President George W. Bush as an
honored guest.

JG>Often this has to do with the fact that there is not enough
JG>police to cover the city, or they have the police to cover the
JG>city, but they limit the area they patrol to the safe portion
JG>of the city.

Beijing seems to be doing quite well.  Much better than Hong Kong.
But not to worry.  Just as Beijing tamed the crowd in Tianamen Square,
so too will the maddening crowd be tamed in Hong Kong.

JG>They also have been a few cases of child trafficking showing
JG>up recently on the news.

Not in Beijing.
Not in Tehran.
Not in most other major cities around the world.

JG>Something that was unheard of when I lived there...

Oh, you are talking about adoption.  That's different.
You will never find a white male baby or a white male child
with blond hair and blue eyes up for adoption.  Not anywhere
in Louisiana or anywhere else in the world.  It's a conspiracy
I tell you.  A conspiracy.

JG>It just keeps getting worse, and unless something can change
JG>things to cause the majority of the population to leave, I
JG>don't see it getting any better.

The water is rising and the land is sinking.  Either the people
will drown or the people will move.  Either way the people of
Louisiana are doomed.  Doomed I tell you.  Doomed!

JG>Folks see Louisiana as being so grand, because there are
JG>lots of places to drink, and while they won't admit it, many
JG>of the folks who love Louisiana love it because the drugs
JG>are a plenty!

Drugs are plentiful everywhere, sold at every corner drugstore
in America.  As well as on every corner in every neighborhood.

JG>But It's all that folks see it as being great that
JG>I see as being bad.

"Come to Louisiana. Leave different." - Louisiana Tourism Motto

JG>Used to have great fishing and hunting, but sadly,
JG>BP took care of that!

Louisiana Governor Piyush "Bobby" Jindal would like to let BP
totally off the hook, getting Louisiana taxpayers to pick up the
tab to clean up the mess created by BP.  However, the courts
have ruled against Jindal, saying he was not being fair to those
affected by the disaster.  So now Jindal is seeking a consolation
prize by running for President.  Of the United States.

JG>I wouldn't touch anything from the gulf!

Those blue crabs are so delicious!  It's too bad we send them
all to the East Coast for others to enjoy.

JG>What BP didn't take out, Rita did!

Katrina was a fine woman.  Until she turned mean and took out
one of my computers.  And then came Rita.  Another fine woman.
Until she turned mean and took out another one of my computers.
But that was okay, because I still had a third computer.  That
is, until Gustav came along.  And he was one nasty dude ...

JG>So as far as I see it, you take away all the good, put
JG>in all the bad, and what is left, I don't care for!

That is why I tossed all my remaining desktop computers
and went total laptop.  No more windblown and waterlogged
desktops for me ...

JG>Pretty much any big city will have the same problems,
JG>sad thing is Lake Charles wasn't a "big city"!

You should try moving to Dulac.  Some people call it
the armpit of the world.  But I know better, the taste
of those fresh shrimp from the Gulf being oh so sweet
and delightful ...

JG>It was bigger than some of the smaller towns, but far
JG>from being a metro area.

The city of New Orleans is the only metropolitan area
in Louisiana.  And New Orleans is like a suburb of Chicago,
when it comes to size.

JG>Just the corruption of officials allowed it to feel like
JG>a big city.

City officials always have big heads.  Doesn't matter what
city, or in what country.  Even the fictional city of Mayberry
had city officials with big heads.  Which explains why Goober
always wore that funny-looking hat of his.

JG>The roads with large pot holes don't need repairs, but
JG>gosh darn it, we must have a free golf course for the town!

Golf courses are all the rage!  Especially 9-hole public
golf courses!  Everybody ought to be rich, or at least think
they ought to be rich!  And the way to do that is to play
golf!  So do like Obama and tee it up!

JG>Of course, it seems the only folks who use it are the eh...

President Obama takes his golf clubs with him everywhere he
goes.  Including to Grand Isle, which he visited at least twice
after the BP disaster.  Now imagine swinging a golf club in
sand mixed with oil and mud that is strewn with tarballs.
Kind of hard to tell which was the golf ball and which were
the other kind of balls.

JG>City Counsilmen...

All of whom have wet dreams of becoming President ...

JG>Funny how that works...

Worked for Obama.  :)
