As many times as I have been to Louisiana (I only live about forty five
miles East of the Louisiana state line) before and New Orleans and I
have been there many,many times before since the late 1940's,I have seen
many,many native Louisianans and native folks from New Orleans.Most of
the people are not as poor as you might think.Some of them can drop a
few thousand dollars now and then and never even miss that money.
