#4 Having grown up just a few miles north of Alexandria, Louisiana, and living and going to school with Cajuns, don't underestimate 'em! Any group that sends its young people out 'gator hunting with a two-by-four and a piece of rope shouldn't be messed with, except by experts. Unfortunately, there are darned few of them, as ex-Governor Edwards found out! BTW, the rumor is, he'll be out on parole in another year or two...

#6 I wonder if the colonel has read Lawrence. Hope he does one day, if not. Sounds like he's making a difference. And thus making history. Stories like this need to make the big networks news shows.
I was an acting director for a school for handicapped in Morocco run by UK NGO; was in Peace Corps at the time and after 2 months of only speaking Arabic, when I went back to my regular site afterward, everyone remarked on the improvement of my Arabic. Although my experience doesn't compare to the colonel, I'm sure he and I could compare notes. I understand why he'd miss being governor.

#7 BTW, the rumor is, he'll be out on parole in another year or two.

They should let him out early for all the entertainment value he's provided over the years.
