Georgia is a bit of a paradox. Atlanta is a thriving city, but it hasn't spread much beyond that. I 'think' Alabama might be ready for a breakthrough. As you say, education matters on all levels, not just the jobs a person can get. Georgia does have things in place they could breakthrough. and TN does. TN has a history of being different from the deep south... check east TN in the civil war, they were not into fighting for the south. Mississippi? I dunno. bless their hearts.

I think Mississippi and LA would be the last to break through. I've been to Cajun country and I was surprised at how poor that country is. I saw guys who are 30 and have lost most of their teeth or their teeth were in full decay.

As for ALA, I wish your current governor could stay in for two more terms. He seems to have his head in the right place.

I don't know if will help with the breakthrough, but yesterday's front page had two stories of pols on their way to jail. one over bribes having to do with the JeffCo sewer debacle and... forget what the other guy had done. it's not just on the state level, but on city levels that pols have treated things as their lil feifdoms. it's like a buncha lil mafias to break up.

People need to expect more from their politicians and when they don't perform, they need to be punished or dismissed.

One thing......and this may not effect you all.....but I find the heat in the summer in the South stultifying. It robs me of any energy I have......even with AC, I don't think I could handle it. However, you all have grown up in it and so maybe its not that big a deal.
