The State is divided into French parishes, not English counties and until recently had a legal system based on the Napoleonic Code. Not from there myself, but I spent some time there. BTW, only Yankees say N'awlins. More like Nah-AwwwLenz.

"The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language." -- attributed to George Bernard Shaw "Americans and British are one people separated only by a common language." -- attributed to Winston Churchill Neither of these quotes can be verified, but they are often repeated as such because they are so truthful I think we're in spat mode again. Perhaps they'll stop by and burn down our capital again? Couldn't hurt... ~Mark Remember kids, "In a democracy, you get the government you deserve." |
