Only south of the Red River, Obi-Wan. The northern third of the state actually has some sane people in it - plus many of my relatives. In a few instances, I even have sane relatives.

14 My relatives were saner, they moved out of Louisianna in the 50's, now live in North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, none in Louisianna now.
