    It’s easier to list what’s right with America. Although all I can think of is Cajun food.

          great [tasting] food, great [sized] country, yes. fucking bastard of a language english is.

          I have tried the standard of (If an area’s regional food is tasty, the people are probably pretty good folk) fairly extensively and found few exceptions. Only been tried for witchcraft and run out of town once.

      I worry about the eventual trip to Louisiana and the food that will make me abandon my flight home to live amongst the free-rangers for my own Seven Years in Thibodaux . I still have some vestigial college-level French, and I hope that won’t be an impediment.
