So, my personal views on Mardi has certainly changed over time, more so reading this book. First off, like the author of the book I never truly understood the concept of the Mardi Gras. Maybe the will change if I ever go to New Orleans. I do enjoy a good celebration, but to the point where you cant even remember what happened the next morning is quite ridiculous. Dont you want to remember what happened? You probably should.
Another thing that caught my attention in the book, is about polticians. The slogan," Vote for the Crook its important" You never thought you hear anyone say that in our neck of the woods. Although I am sure there "crooks", in the world that are politicians.I know they were discussing this in 1991, about David Duke, but his statement, "The only way he could lose is if he was caught with live boy or dead girl," I dont know if that person would have gotten my vote. New Orleans is one of a kind.I'll make sure to put on my bucket list.
