Don’t know, it said something about naturalness in the article. Whatever that means.

“I had the extreme pleasure of visiting Baton Rouge, Louisiana...”

I think that’s the first time I have ever seen “pleasure”, “Baton Rouge” and “visit” in the same sentence. ;)

I grew up a short distance from there.

I'm 'natural' at about 10:00AM every day... I call it a 'dump'.

Why won’t you return? You’re who we need!

That's truly unfortunate. You're the kind of person who can really make the situation better. Your example would set a model for others.

The lives of kids are far more important than that of adults (I have two). Moreover, I'm probably a 6 (out of 10) as far as black conservatives go and there are many 10s in America who feel as isolated and have much, much more to give to society.

Coming back from Texas a couple of weeks after Katrina, my niece and I had to go through Baton Rouge at night. Listening to a radio station, we heard that it was better to not stop for stop signs or traffic signals for fear of carjacking. Now I don’t know how credible that info was, but two women alone at night (with 4 big wussy dogs) weren’t taking any chances so we floored it through there.

Reminds me of Chevy Chase/Sparky Griswold going through East St. Louis in “Vacation”.

LOL, it wasn't quite that bad, the streets were deserted, as far as we could tell, in all the dark (no lights where we were). But we were certainly glad to see the good ole Mississippi state line!

I agree with you on that.

‘Values’ are not entertainment preferences but something (I hope) a little more profound and character-based.

Kipita is fluff and so is her analysis

If jazz, blues, rythm and 'naturalism' are what guides NOLA's black elite and its politicians... then the search for the cities problems can finally come to an end.
