"What you don't seem to understand is that the "value" to the nation is whatever the nation says it is. That's how a free market works. Your opinion is nothing more than that. Your opinion."

The fact that you are having to pay more money to tank up your car is not my opinion. The fact that your check doesn't buy as much due to Katrina is not my opinion. The fact that you challenged me to a "tit for tat" debate about the value of Louisiana compared to other states is not my opinion. That you are apparently unable to provide your half of this arguement is not my opinion. It is a fact. BTW, what state of value do you live in?

You have said nothing new. You are choosing to take an extreme position and a pseudo communist one. It will not prevail.

You would be wise to re-read the opinions of your fellow Americans and develop some humility. Louisiana does not have much "value" to most of us. And your opinion even less.

Perhaps you do not comprehend the oh so obvious reality - that the more offensive and arrogant you are - the less likely others will feel compassion for you?
