Well, in my last post, I mentioned that it is a federal crime to work towards the militant overthrow of Laos. I included a poll looking for somebody-anybody that thinks that a law prohibiting the takeover of Laos is a good idea. Apparently, no one cares, or at least the 16 people that bothered to read or answer the poll do not care. That got me thinking and I decided to look and see where and what a Laos really is. The most disturbing thing I found was the cultural simililarities between the nation of Laos and Southern Ohio. 

Laos is a land-locked state in the middle of French-Indo China
Ohio is a land-locked state in the middle of Appalachian America.

Laos is a 4 letter word.
Ohio is a 4 letter word

Laos motto: ສັນຕິພາບ ເອກະລາດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ ເອກະພາບ ວັດທະນາຖາວອນ
Ohio Motto: Through God, All Things are Possible.

Laos is from the anchient Land of a Million Elephants.
Southern Ohio is now the current Land of a Million Elephants (see New Boston, Ohio, Walmart for confirmation).

Laos: 80% of the population practice substance agriculture.
Southern Ohio: 80% of the population practice some form of substance abuse.

 

Laotion flag is red, white & blue with a large white circle.
Ohio flag is red, white & blue with a large white circle.

The Laotion government is socialist-communist.
The majority of Southern Ohioans are on socialist government programs.

Laotions gather and use a khaen which is a type of bamboo pipe.
Southern Ohioans gather and use a crack pipe.

The Laotion seal contains a star, grain and a rising sun.

Spooky, huh?
