Louisiana...........A Southern Jewel Of Natural Resources........Forty Percent Of The Lower 48's Wetlands...........Swamps, Rivers, Bayous, Creeks, Hardwoods, Hills And Flatlands......Oil, Gas, Salt, Sulphur, Agriculture, And On And On...........Even Led The Way In Getting The American Alligator Off The Endangered List...........Somewhat Successful In Reintroducing The State Bird, The Brown Pelican..............A Fishing And Hunting Mecca(Except For That Big Dead Spot In The Gulf Off The Mouth Of The Mississippi).........Also, Along With Neighboring Mississippi And Alabama, A State That Is On Or Near The Bottom Of Virtually Every "List" Imaginable..........From Education And Health To Corruption And Crime..................Environment Doesn't Fare Too Well Either..............I Think A Recent News Account On The Murder Rate In New Orleans(Reportedly Almost Ten Times The National Average) Pretty Much Tells It All.......One Of The Universities Was Doing A Study On Response Of Residents To Gunfire In Their Area.............New Orleans Police Fired 700 Blank Rounds Into The Air On One Particular Afternoon In One Of The Neighborhoods To See What The Response Would Be............No One Called
