Reply #15: My sister works at a local library in Illinois

[Bluzmann57]

and a few years ago she applied for a job to head up the Pearl, Mississippi Library system. For various reasons, she ended up turning down the job offer, but she said that the library system down there is woefully behind the rest of the U.S. due in part to funding problems. You see, Mississippi is a very poor state. Taking cheap shots at them won't help, it just makes Liberals look bad. What they need is help from the state and federal governments to bring the educational and income levels up to the rest of the country. There are a number of good people in Mississippi, I have met several of them during my travels down there.
