In 1950 prior to oilfield entertainment (suckee money) the rule was ,"If you could reach the bar with your Quater, you could purchase ah cold one ! there were more 24 -----hr. Joints serving alcohol than there were crooked politicos on the take in this state, especially in Laf. St. Landry, St. Martin, and Orleans parishes .The Oil Industry contributed to the problem, but it was not the primary and/or origination of the problem. I recall initially there were many more cajun names appearing on DWI lists THEN in the Daily Rag, but nevah any well- heeled cajuns lak Judges, Doctors, Lawyers, Attorneys,( dere is ah dfference )YA SEE, LAK MARDI GRAS PARTYS HELD ON SUNDAY AT DA ELITE JOINT, "THE LAFAYETTE TOWNHOUSE ", WELL THEIR LIQUOR/BEER/WINE WAS DELIVERED ON SUNDAY MORNINGS TO THE ELITE JOINT, AND AS THEIR WELL- HEELED MARDI GRAS KING SAID , QUOTE," "We took delivery, butttt ! THEY WON'T INVOICE US TILL MONDAY,AND THATS WHEN WE'LL PAY FOR DA "BOOZE" (FREAKIN WASN'T TRUE, WE ALLUS UPSTANDING CITIZUNS OF DIS COMMUNUITTY! HIC, HICC ! NOW with all the intergration of men/families from other states arriving with the oil industry and franchise retailers the names are a MISH-MASH, of cajun, texans, oakies, etc, on the DWI NOTICES, an the alcohol problem has escalated ,In Administration /Political circles it be touted as $$$$$$$$$$$$ PROGRESSSSSSS $$$$$$$$$$ PROGRESSSSSS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:46:31 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3677 READ MY LIPS, "NO TAX INCREASES"!

These are un-imaginable in other states. I am Louisiana native, and love our culture, but these are two things we don't need and should not have. - Bobby Fri, 16 Oct 2009 09:46:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3648 Po Bete Mire, His is not a choice. His is an addiction ! For who in their right mind would imbibe such an amount OF ALCOHOL as to register so high on the alcohol analysis test, especially knowing his job required him to transport school children the following morning ? Myric6 , guess you are trying to profess your "BLUE BLOOD" LINEAGE ! LAFAYETTE'S "FINEST " GO HEAD, COUILLION ! SORRY, FANS ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:33:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3640 I think this editorial might be different if a bus load of LPSS students were injured or died due to Mire's poor choices. I fail to see the humor in a culture where drinking and ignorance are main stays. - Jose Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:13:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3633 Uh....it is Cousin Dud (your thinking Uncle Earl- Earl Long, LA Governor, not the girl band). Also, there could be 1,000 compilation cds of drinking songs in the country music genre. Or Rock. Or Blues. Or Irish Folk Music. Or English Folk Music..............etc. - Lucius Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:28:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3631 Bring back the Eighteenth Amendment! - Westward Orange Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:20:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3629 Wasn't he Cou-san Dud? - Chuck Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:25:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3627 I think this editorial lacks substance. I compare it to the new policy introduced at the LPSB meeting last week. - Pedro Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:13:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3626 Good point, JP. i had forgotten about that angle. it's certainly true. - give me a break Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:06:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3625 Let's not forget the District Attorneys and judges who turn a blind eye to drunk driving and who, in some cases, actually help get their buddies off the hook. I won't name names. Complicity in the local justice system is a major factor, in my opinion, and it fosters the kind of nonchalant attitude displayed by the school board. - JP Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:20:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3622 Ipa, walter isn't making the connection, the owner of the business was. lordy, the man has a right to his opinion about the closure of his own business. i think walter has put his finger on something that has struck me about this whole thing. the people around here acting like they never had a few cocktails and then got up the next morning and drove to work -- &/or drove their kids to day care/school. PLEASE. - give me a break Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:57:39 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3620 I believe the lenient attitude toward alcohol has a lot to do with the oil field and the "entertaining" of clients more than Hadacol. Alcohol & moonshine have prevelent in the south ever since the scots were brewing it in the mountains, but most of my ancestors used it for medicinal purposes. I remember my grandmother saying our people were too poor to afford "likker", but always had a little and used "toddies" for several illnesses. The oilfield afforded more disposable income and entertaining is a large part of cultivating customers and clients. My kids go to a local private school and my kid has told me of guys getting paid in alcohol for doing odd jobs. That alcohol is stashed and banked until its Homecoming or party time. That is such a shame because young people are getting hurt and killed. Its sad to think that some of Lafayette's "finest" would think it acceptable to pay teenagers by way of alcohol. - Myric6 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:53:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5068#comment-3619 I'm sorry, Walter, but I don't see the connection between the closure of Catahoula's and the collective change in attitude about drinking and driving. - ipa Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:01:14 +0100
