The posted quote in the posted article cite:
“...The magnolia state is ranked the 36th most dangerous state in the country, putting it in the bottom half of states when it comes to safety. Home Security Shield helped onlyinyourstate.com come up with the list....
It should be “top half of states when comes to safety......
Thank you! That means you were right all along, and so was I. We just read two different statements.
Woo Hoo! FReepers are smart!
Thanks for doing that bit of research, Deport, to clarify what we already knew (#36 out of 50 is pretty darned safe).
When I first read that line, “The magnolia state is ranked the 36th most dangerous state in the country, putting it in the bottom half of states when it comes to safety,” I immediately saw that it was written the opposite way it should have been. And, from seeing this thread, I see I’m not the only one who saw that.
