Whodat,
"I" am not going to respond to the comments in your last post because you keep going in circles, but wanted to ask you this question...Do you have any suggestions for the problems you bring up on crime and dirty politicians in LA? Anyone can say, "Lets get rid of crime and dirty politics!" In fact that sounds a great deal like Barack Obama. It is a very general statement that makes people feel good but has no action or substance behind it. What is your stance on these issues?

To whodat,
Before you go off on a rant you may want to hit that spell check button. The surest sign someone is from a trailer park is when they cant even spell "trailor" park. hahahha

Where in my post was i comparing Baton Rouge to the rest of the nation? I think it was pretty obvious I was comparing it to New Orleans. Isn't that what this article is about anyway?

To Mike and whodat,
Quoted from another article...
"Per capita, New Orleans has by far the most murders of any city in the country. And that's not likely to change until authorities get a grip on the situation.

Its 161 homicides last year translate to 70 murders per 100,000 people, reports CNN. This year, the murder rate probably will climb even higher—a total of 200 killings is projected. The city with the next-highest homicide rate, Gary, Ind., had 48 murders per 100,000 last year. New York City, by comparison, had 7.3, according to FBI statistics."

Hmmm. i dont see BR on this list. I base my arguments on facts, not speculation, personal experience or opinions of people i know. Do we have crime in BR..Yes. Are our politicians the best in the country...No. i do live in a city, however, that has an attitude of change and growth. the people here for the most part invest in making the community a better place and work hard to grow the economy by making it advantageous for new businesses to locate here. And as far as "Baton Rouge will never be New Orleans", that comment just cracks me up. we have no desire to "be" new orleans or houston or whoever. we just want to be Baton Rouge, a great place to live, raise a family, and grow a business.

Baton Rouge is now the dominant force in Lousiana, like it or not. New Orleans is a dirty, smelly, crime infested city with people that dont care about it's future and has been that way for a long time. some of you may be offended by that comment but lets face the facts...the majority of the people in new orleans continue to elect city leaders like Ray Nagin who are completely incompetent and have no business running a city. as long as that continues to happen, the city will never regain hold the status it once had decades ago. I used to love to visit New Orleans but after the last few times i have just driven through there i have no desire to go back. The "Woe is Me" attitude there is just terrible. At some point in your life you have to pick yourself up and stop relying on other people to do everything for you. For the people left in new orleans that have a good head on their shoulders and understand this, you are welcome to leave and head up to Baton Rouge. for the rest of you that want to keep electing leaders like your mayor and receiving government handouts, please stay put.
