Yes Jeffrey, there's nothing more shallow minded & unintelligent than the gigantic Nissan & Toyota automobile assembly plants locating in the great state of Mississippi....sigh.....and just where is the final resting place of Nathan Bedford Forrest? Thus, a mind IS a terrible thing to waste!

Yeah, as if Tennessee is any more "just". Right. Tennessee is more backward thinking on social issues than Mississippi. Taken a peek at the bills in the Tennessee State assembly latesly? But just so everyone understands, this effort to put the Colonel Rebel issue on the November ballot was spearheaded mostly by supporters of Mississippi State, the school that hates Ole Miss, in an effort to hurt Ole Miss. That's all it was.

The icons from the South's racist past should be left to rot. The future will continue to bend toward social justice and those who stand in the way of such progress deserve to be viewed as shallow minded and unintelligent. Thus the state of Mississippi.
