Independence - Why not Louisiana

Vermont wants its independence. Texas and other states would also would love their independence. The U.S. federal government is pushing for Kosovo's independence. Why not Louisiana? Economically, the state of Louisiana is robbed of billions of dollars annually from oil royalties from 20 miles out while it begs the federal government for funds to offset damage to the fragile environment from production and exploration activity and support. Louisiana could be as rich as Saudi Arabia if its offshore oil resources were not confiscated by the feds. Another reason why Louisiana is a very good candidate for independence is that it is unique in culture. It is more akin to the Caribbean than the Northern European culture that has been pushed down the throats of the people of this state. The prime time TV show on CBS, Jericho, is a harbinger of what lies ahead. True self determination of people or suffocation of culture under centralized socialist regimes.
