(112 posts)I am an engineer/scientist. When I have an idea I test it. If it doesn't work I throw it out. Conservative government has been tested and it does not work. Look at all of the red states in the recent state ranking on multiple qualities of life one community health aspects. All those solidly red states are at the bottom. If you are capable of logical critical thought and consider yourself conservative you should find it necessary to change your thinking. All Bama have going for it is a football program at U of A. It is a football team with a pseudo-university attached.

The Rosa Parks Museum was a testament to the life of civil rights heroes from Montgomery, AL. Those who participated in the transit boycotts day after day.

And the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was pastor from 1954-1960, where the museum/church docents came out on the sidewalk to hug and welcome folks inside for a history lesson.
I recently visited Montgomery, AL and hope to go back soon to finish seeing what I didn't see the first time. Please don't put down the whole state for the actions of some ignorant people in the state legislature.
Well done
