Bonjour Monsieur Alligator
We took a ‘swamp tour’ while in New Orleans and Our Cajun tour guide was terrific. I found this article about him online and wanted to share. HE is the kind of person the Southern Republican Leadership Council should have been spending their time with. Hell, he is the kind of person ALL of those people who think they know best should spend some time with. He was a commercial fisherman until two years ago when the economy went south and this is what he does now. But his insights and comments were right on. HE knows what is needed, what more can and should be done.
We also took a Cemetery Tour and lucked out there as well. Our tour guide was Ernie, a native of N’awlins and so he not only rattled off the stuff you get from anyone, but had his own perspective on what can and should be done. He is a history major so he had some bits and pieces that another guide might not have had.
Both these men though, while completely different from each other, were real, authentic and had a lot to say. One can only wish that someday Washington politicians on both sides of the aisle would really take the time to talk to people like this--they might come away with a whole different understanding of the world we AND they live in.
