[demosocialist]

This is my first post but I feel like we should help the freepers, as an act of reaching across the aisle

2. Louisiana is the only State which operated under Napoleonic laws

One often-cited distinction is that while common law courts are bound by stare decisis and tend to rule based on precedents, judges in Louisiana rule based on their own interpretation of the law


Plus, New Orleans got wrecked by Katrina and it's still below sea level.

I'm okay if they separate.

3. Things are horrible here, really really horrible. Our roads are being paved and I mean paved

for the first time since I can remember, roads are being widened that have been in the planning stage for perhaps 20 years, housing developments are going up with nice homes faster than you can count, oil field service companies are popping up along the main drag, this area is growing but you know it has nothing to do with BO's policies and everything to do with republican obstructionism.
