People outside of Louisiana don't understand.
But, I still remember when the choice for governor was between:
1. The most corrupt governor in the history of the universe; or
2. A KKKlown who used to dress up in Nazi gear and "seig heil" for pictures.
That year, I was burned out by an arsonist.
On one of the local talk shows, they suggested I was burned out either because of my stance against Duke or because of my stance for Edwards.
(I was vehemently anti-Duke, but not yet a organized political activist. A neighbor's kid broke in and set in on fire, we think).
