Settle-
SET'TLE, verb intransitive To fall to the bottom of liquor; to subside; to sink and rest on the bottom; as, lees or dregs settle. Slimy particles in water settle and form mud at the bottom of rivers.
This word is used of the extraneous matter of liquors, when it subsides spontaneously. But in chimical operations, when substances mixed or in solution are decomposed, and one component part subsides, it is said to be precipitated. But it may also be said to settle.
2. To lose motion or fermentation; to deposit, as feces. A government on such occasions, is always thick before it settles.

Those are the definitions that are located in the Webster’s 1828 dictionary. They are the ones that most closely define what has went on in Louisiana politically for at least forty years.
Why do the people of this great state still allow this go on. For far too long, we have been disappointed by our politicians. There have been countless so-called leaders that have ended up spending time in jail. Even the ones that stay on the correct side of the law have had their problems.
It seems as if when they get elected that the forget what the ran as. Republicans start to think as democrats. Then there are the democrats that, all of a sudden, become “conservative republicans.”
Disappointment abounds in this state. Politicians keep saying one thing in their campaigns and doing another when the get elected. The people want there leaders to say something in the campaign and do that policy when they get elected.

That word and definition is exactly what has gone on in the state for the four decades. As much as I dislike Edwin W. Edwards, and I do think he hurt the state more than he helped it, he did get certain things done that actually helped the state.
Why can we not find good, moral, and ethical people that want to do the job of helping pull this great state up by its bootstraps.
