Why do you want Louisiana to stay?

Hard to plant trees in the ocean
Mangroves are the trees of choice in the ocean.
Huh, good point.
Screw Louisiana then, it becomes a mangrove forest. Harder to do, but the ocean has unpaved the way at least.
New Orleans is a national treasure and incredibly left politically. I'm not saying they don't have gang and gun violence problems, they do, but I feel more free in that city than anywhere else in the US.
Yeah but the problem is New Orleans is inside Louis-
Wait did you say more free than anywhere else in the USA?...
I've been to a large amount of states. I don't think you've traveled much.
Been all over the States. I currently work anywhere from Omaha to Brooklyn. I've done a decent bit of travel outside the country as well but only many times to Mexico and a few times around other countries in Central America.
Yeah I'm talking about the French Quarter and to a lesser extent the Garden District and downtown. I haven't gone to Bourbon Street the last three trips, I don't care for it. Helpful locals will tell you if you're about to walk somewhere you're not wanted. Other than that you basically never see a cop and you can chill with anarchic punks that don't judge. Last time I was there I was just chilling on the street and a kid walked up and pretty much shoved a large psylocibin chocolate bar in my mouth. Couldn't imagine that anywhere else.
Free as in beer, I think. A phrase you never hear in the French Quarter is "Last Call!"
