yet people kept going to this bar night after night, year after year. it was THE place to be.

The WD can be exactly like that.
I view the dynamics of what is happening in the WD as a microcosm of what is happening in the felllowship Ferd .... it's the Ohio of the electoral college .... right now.

I agree with you. the WD however is more of a macrocosim. all the issues are bigger and the players are more vocal.

if this were some other large district, you would have men working behind the scenes to get something done. In the WD, they get up and preach about it then send tapes to everyone concerned.

where other places play nice

in the WD, they pull out swords and shoot each other.

all is well? No, every state has issues and there are still conservitives and liberals and everything in between, but Louisiana has had very strong leadership that has not tollerated borish behavior from anyone for as long as there has been a UPCI. everyone still is behind the DS in La. now. so while there are issues, it isnt a continual fight for control of the state.

TRUE...which is very different here. When leadership has tried to not tolerate this behavior...we get a letter writing campaign slamming the district. One was the topic here a few months ago. Unfortunately, it is a FIGHT for CONTROL.
