Fish, there is a LOT more to Louisiana than New Orleans. Trust me, there is a lot of anti N.O. sentiment IN louisiana as well, some because of the hurricane, some entrenched and stemming from resentment that attention within and without the state seems to focus on that paticular area. Louisiana is NOT a big swamp with one major city full of people with no morals and less common sense. We do seem to have more than our fair shaer of crooked politicians however :P
