South Arkansas a wilderness again?

To The Richard

I understand as South Arkansas continues to lose population it is in danger of becoming a wilderness again. Do you see any evidence of that happening?

Dearest Donna Fay;

You bet I do. Listed below are several items that might show a trend toward South Arkansas becoming a wilderness.

(1) The state legislature will consider a bill to make L. A. (lower Arkansas) a territory again. Everything south of Fordyce will be known as the Territory of Lower Arkansas, and custom and immigration checkpoints will be manned along with border patrol stations.

(2) Sarah Palin has registered a homestead south of Luann.

(3) Two Red Wolf packs have returned and are terrorizing Hampton. Beavers have dammed the Ouachita River just north of Camden, and Kudzu has enveloped Bradley County.

(4) El Dorado will become the territorial capital next year, and the local Sons of Confederate veterans, Three Creeks chapter, will man all police stations and border crossings.

Answer: All of the above; welcome to L. A.
