And there are certainly some honorable exceptions. But anyone who knows Louisiana knows its characterization as corrupt is spot-on.

You come on up to Dallas, Jagged. That's where I am. My family moved from Baton Rouge to Texas when I was a baby to seek better employment and a better atmosphere for a family. This place is superficial, politically conservative, money-driven and hot as heck in the summertime. But it's an improvement over Louisiana!

Oh and my girlfriend and I have been looking at it a lot and that looks like the perfect place. We looked at condo's for the hell of it and they are so much cheaper and nicer than anything you will find around here. Plus I'm still debating between teaching and tech writing. Dallas would be a step up for both of those. At least tech writing. She wants to go into publishing and they have a lot of publishing houses. The out look seems a lot nicer there than most places.
