Just so you know, after Katrina, those of us in New Orleans wanted to get the receipt for Louisiana from the Cabildo and return ourselves to France after the generosity of the French people. No one here ever referred to french fries as freedom fries, and we respect our french culture and France. We have french schools here, a lot of us are french, and we all here know the bravery of the french. Didn’t anyone study the American Revolution and what France did? The close-as-you-can-get-to-Europe-in-America city mourns for its friends in France.
