Why is the south so backward?

[murray t turtle]

Quote from phenomena:

The south has a much better standard of living than the rest of the country... I used to criticize the south for having more hawkish law enforcement, but that's pretty much spread everywhere now...

Most of the wealth is also moving to the Sunbelt now too. We're going to start seeing more and more punitive measures taken on the south because of it's growing prosperity, precisely what predicated the civil war...

==================

Good points, not that that sheriff of AZ =[southern state]is hawkish-
Mr Rush Limbaugh did a little song about him''I am not a sheriff;
but I play one on TV''.LOL

True, TN did raise its hunting liscense fee up to $30/+ U$D;
but the TN landowner doesnt have to buy one[Real eatate exempted]................................................................... But they really $ock itto nonresidents.
But most do ;
besides it's a user fee well worth it. Bought one myself this year, even though I did not have too.LOL

My question is why with Islamic terrorists, in Israel;
attemped Islamic terror in USA, to a small degree,
why doesthe ADLconcern itself with 10 commandments on courthouse wall type stuff??????????????????????????????

They got upset when the gov of MS called MS a Christian state ....... I didnt get upset @ that.Since the correct name would & is Judeo-Christian state, at least he got it 50% right

Some left coast politicians get it 100% wrong;
spell checker/spacer not used.

I don't see it Lucrum.

I know, hence my comment.

And I trust my perception...

Doesn't just about everyone?

...Politics isn't a religion to me.

Me neither, in fact believe it or not I hate political talk shows/radio.

If I see proof of people going batty in mass over the left pundits then I'll change my opinion.

It's matter of perception, I see all the evidence I need right here on ET.

Have you read the book "Psycho-Cybernetics" ...

No, not really my kind of book. Right now I'm struggling through Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain trying to figure out to calculate column buckling stress so my landing gear doesn't collapse under load.

One of the main points of the book is that thoughts are not facts.

I have to agree.

Have you tried wearing a jockstrap???

I couldnt resist, way to many words in there which could be used in a childish joke to let it slide.

Hmmm, would that work AFTER your "load" is expended?

I guess you got me there...... Surely the book will teach you a way around this problem.
