"War of Northern Aggression" - BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Redneck historical revisions do not change the facts. War against the Southern traitors of America is more like it. Nissan and Toyota built in Mississippi because Haley Barbour gave them 659 million dollars of taxpayer money in a desperate attempt to slow the hemorrhage of jobs and talent from the state. Not to mention the reality of cheap, impoverished, non-union labor and rock bottom real estate costs were an added incentive.

Tsk tsk tsk.....Yes Jeffrey, Mississippi is so "backwards", that Nissan & Toyota built two gigantic automobile manufacturing plants there recently out of the goodness of their collective hearts! And who mentioned anything about the War of Northern Aggression, anyway? If you could stay on topic I wouldn't have to scold you so often......

I spout off because it is the most backwards state in our Republic. Not to mention being the bottom of the list education wise. Of course, those two things go hand in hand. Mississippi is still fighting the Civil War. That is evident in the way Mississippians cling to icons from the era, like the Confederate flag, a symbol of racism and slavery for so many. I could write a book about how corrupt the politicians are in Mississippi. The Southaven mayor is a shining example of the types of shady, above-the-law politicians the people in Mississippi vote into office, all at the expense of their own best interests. So yeah, I have good reason to go off on Mississippi, as any decent, rational, learned person would.

You can have stronger beer in Mississippi, destroying your liver and damaging your health, but cancer patients cannot have the relief they need from a natural grown anti-nausea medication. Amazing. You cannot have an abortion in Mississippi but adult can destroy their life with alcohol. Some "sanctity of life." Mississippi Republicans wouldn't have a clue even if they did have functioning brains.

Why is it still legal to get absolutely trashed on alcohol, yet illegal to smoke a naturally grown plant to give me a less dangerous, yet better buzz. America is screwed up.
