If Jindal had any Gonads

The federal government is essentially at economic war with Louisiana. If the Obama administration can persuade the courts to shut down oil exploration in the gulf Lafayette and South Louisiana will go the way of Detroit. Already major service companies have slashed their work forces by as much fifty percent to contend with the moribund economy and stoppage of drilling.

If Jindal had Louisiana's interest at heart instead of personal ambitions, he would be leading a two prong effort.

First, he would initiate and lead our legislature to pass laws to nullify the federal ban on drilling.

Secondly, he would sue for control of oil resources off of our state. As I have indicated before, the federal government has benefited from billions of dollars in royalties a year from our waters since my grandfather was a young man.

I have no compation for BP, one the worst corporatist entities in the world. It really appears that BP relies on centralized governments to maximize profits to detriment of the localities of where it pursues its commercial interest. Not a good neighbor.
