[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 225389, member: 2011"] Kirby, You are pretty much spot on. It would have helped if you were to have lived there for a while to catch on even better. Also that is the kind of remark that the media chooses to report more than any other. There are large cultural differences between West bank and East bank, up river and down river. Comparing Slidell with New Orleans is like comparing James Jones to a homeless fella. The political culture of LA in general and New Orleans in particular is very different to what you are used to though MT is kind of headed that way in spots. I lived up river, 23 miles, from New Orleans for 7 years in St. Charles Parish. Of my 7 children the last two are Coonasses:D and proud of it, by the way. I recall when there was a major racial problem at the local high school , my neighbors were amazed that my 3 kids went to school that day. We knew about it but being from Idaho thought nothing of it. We seem to get along with everyone. Certain groups of people there have been taught/conditioned/trained to have someone take care of them for their votes. I was there during the Moreal and Edwards days. Pretty much a hoot from my perspective. I gathered that in New Orleans a fella or group of fellas which included a fella by the name of Moon ran the show anyway.;) Additionally, I think Idaho politics is pretty much like Louisiana's except we've never had a Kingfish.:D Also living there allowed me to recognize the racial problems that exist here in good ol' Bingham County Idaho.:( [/QUOTE]
