Default Mississippi Improvements

I have been reading alot of the "horror" stories of Jackson and the rest of the state of Mississippi, such as poor health, lack of education, and racism. I want to know if you think that the state of Mississippi will be improved in the future. I hope that the situtations in Jackson and the rest of Mississippi would be better and enjoy more than local stuff.

It seems you must have only been reading one side of those discussions.

I lived in Los Angeles where there was lots of money - and lots of racism, and lots of poor health care, and lots of poor education in city schools. One woman I dated was student teaching as part of her scholarship contract - in return for her more or less free of charge degree from UCLA she would student teach at fairly low wages for two years - and the stories she would tell I am sure went far beyond the norms in our local schools.. It's not just a lack of money that leads to poor education - more often than not its lack of parenting, and Mississippi certainly doesn't have a corner on that market.

I like where I live. I've lived all over the country and recently had the opportunity to move pretty much anywhere I want, I'm still here. Traffic aint bad, weather aint bad, people aint bad... no place is perfect but Mississippi just has a bit mroe balance than many of those other places - the best may not always be the best but the worse usually aint the worse, either.
