France and Siberia (pre-Clovis of course).  And I consider anyone born north of 
US Hwy 90 or in Florida to be a yankee ;)

What really hurt was to go back where my gg grandfather lived and find it to be 
a mud flat in Barataria bay now.  It was a fairly large farming village 125 
years ago.

Not when cause is proven.  It is pretty much irreversible now except to divert 
on the order of 40 percent of the mississippi river flow into the marshes.  too 
much of the sediment load has been lost upstream of Memphis to make anything 
less workable.

It is the land of my ancestors (Choctaw and Chitamacha).  I want to honor their 
memory.  And I wanted to bitch about something too.  I gave up Tequila for lent 
so I'm really edgy.

Hell no, but they are fun to bitch about.  I was just reviwing an article 
concerning the eastern terminus of the Garlock Fault Zone.  There is 
geophysical evidence that it is a deep crust thrust fault.  Interesting read if 
it gets accepted.

See above.  I also was adopted by the Houmas for some work I did on their 
effort to get Federal recognition.
