People like that who wrote the story in Forbes, probably came from the Ark-La-Tex area and have forgotten their roots. It's sad to say that it sounds as though there are only trailers as housing in the area. My grandparents never lived in a trailer. They built there home in the early 1920's and farmed 80 acres by themselves. My parents lived in a very large brick home off of Hwy 175 on almost 3 acres before my dad died. Who cares what the elite say. Their talk is cheap. Like one says, where does there milk and vegatables and meat come from. If the supply were cut off from farmlands, the big city folks would be in a world of trouble. They'd starve to death. Thank goodness for people like those of DeSoto Parish and surronding areas. At least there is peace of mind and an uncomplicated way of life unlike those on wall street. How many people in this area go to federal prison for trying to scheme someone out of their money or funds to get rich quick or have the IRS on their tails daily. I'm sure at that point, they wish they were back at home where their relatives grew up and did not have to deal with the BIG CITY hussle and bussle. Kuddos to NW Louisiana.

Makes me mad but what do you do with people who think that milk and produce come from the grocery store? Can't argue with them because they are not aware that their lives are missing anything.

"Six Degrees of Separation" starring Will Smith & Stockard Channing. :0)

In a recent interview, Dolly Parton was asked to what she attributed her success. Her answer ... "I may look like a woman, but I think like a man." She went on to elaborate that she could walk away from a negotiations table before the "other side" even knew what hit them. Well hello Dolly! ha, ha
