West, actually, and the comparison is not at all accurate. I have lived in both states.
Louisiana is a political cesspool everywhere. Texas has isolated pockets.
Ya, and I meant Louisiana west. I do suffer from vertigo now and then and it sucks (aging sucks), but I can still read a map.
Which is itself and argument against Federalism. Better to have a few isolated cesspools that one large one which controls all. What if we had a run of LBJ's and Slick Willies?
I also have lived in Louisiana and Texas and I agree with you.
