The court in New Orleans has always be activist.

Understood. Someone needs to open up a can of Cajun whoopha$$ on them yahoos. I was/am as much concerned with the level of public "servant" slithering their way into population center governance. On second thought, they seem to be slithering their way into just about everything.

Sad thing is, I know plenty of otherwise good people who, for whatever reasons, do not vote. Most have simply thrown up their hands and said to hell with it; it doesn't seem to make any difference who gets into office; nothing ever changes. Their wrong(mostly), but it's a tough sell trying to convince them otherwise. But I digress...

BTW, 4th gen Texan??????? I haven't actually tried to figure out how many generations, but yours truly is a descendant of one of Texas' First Families. One side of the family settled Texas when Texas was, well, a country. The other side slipped in across the Sabine River some time later ; )

FGS, Texan-American

Yes, my family goes way back, one ancestor took his wife and seven kids and was planning to settle the area that is now Houston, but an indian arrow put an end to that ambition. The wife and kids came back alone, he died on the trip back.

Another of my ancestor's, a widow who lost her husband in the Civil War, packed up her kids and moved to Texas. Seems like there were alot of widows in my family. Tough times back then.
