Anal and oral sex is also illegal in Louisiana (although in 1999 a judge found it unconstitutional, only to be shot down by the Louisiana Supreme Court). However, sex with a dead body is not. http://www.sodomy.org/laws/louisiana/

Nothing personal dude, but if you seriously thought a hurricane higher than Cat 1 was going to hit anywhere in Louisiana and Nagin wouldn’t call for a mandatory evacuation, well you should pay more attention in class. He had no choice after the Katrina fiasco, we’ll face a minimum voluntary evacuation every time somebody sneezes. The choice was yours to make, whether or not to leave. He was just covering his ass.

in response to THAD’S comment that Nagin “had no choice after the Katrina fiasco, we’ll face a minimum voluntary evacuation every time somebody sneezes. The choice was yours to make, whether or not to leave. He was just covering his ass.”
well, Bill White, the mayor of Houston, is being the ANTI-NAGIN… instead of evac-ing for ike, the citizens are being advised to “hunker down”.
