My wife was born and raised in Chak Bay, just about 5 miles from Thibodeau. She got grandmere's recipe for several things including the gumbo. But if we were comparing gumbo recipes, one of her high school classmates married a guy who for a while owned his own restaurant. HE makes a "Hunter's Gumbo" which, instead of chicken and pork sausage, might include duck and venison sausage. Not to be missed, I assure you.
I think if we were to compare notes, our biggest political issue is that I like the Constitution the way it is (more or less) and you want to change things a bit more than I do. My rationale for my position is seeing how there is a breakdown of respect for the constitution and I just feel that without adherence to written law, there is no stability. The mischief brought about by the Chevron Deference Doctrine (which finally got whacked this year) led to the emergence of the bureaucrats of the Executive Branch as de facto lawmakers when in point of strict law, it MUST be Congress who makes new law. When we make reference to the "Deep State" it is squarely found in the bureaucracy of the Executive Branch departments and their unforgivable penchant for making new laws, rules, definitions, and guidelines by fiat. That just CAN'T be allowed to continue.
