How he ever got elected is a mystery to me. If there is any state in the USA that has a live and let live attitude, it is the southern part of Louisiana. I know, I grew up there. One day at a time is my motto about things that need to be changed and which on a daily basis seem to be......I remember when I bought a house after my husband died, hence making me a widow, the mortgage papers identified me as a "single white female". I was outraged. Who knows what it is like nowadays? They year was 1979, but I've never forgotten it.

Ten years ago who would have thought that the US would be on the verge of legalizing marriage equality nationwide, that a majority of the population would approve, or that same sex marriage would be enacted by one country after another in the Western world? There will always be dinosaurs who oppose, but they are becoming, more and more, the minority.Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-71904533309811233972015-05-30T11:07:15.954-05:002015-05-30T11:07:15.954-05:00Sadly the world is very slow to change.

And the reaction of the Avis woman at Logan made me proud of my state.<br /><br />We now have a republican governor, but he has a gay brother, and the governor is totally socially liberal and fiscally responsible and has a sky-high approval rating here. <br /><br />If the national republicans took a page out of his book, they'd be a force to be reckoned with. Too bad they're following the Talian's playbook instead. <br /><br />Saludos, <br /><br />Kim G<br />Boston, MA<br /><i>Where we wish we could just send Jindal to join the other mullahs in Iran.
