You live in Pine Bluff, Arkansas? I have not been there since I was a child.

My great uncle, John Daniel Rust, invented the cotton picker. He set up a foundation to provide college scholarships for sons of tenant farmers before his death. I understand there are some buildings on the campus named after him in Pine Bluff.

I've only lived in Pine Bluff a year. People who have been here longer say it used to be a nice town. It isn't anymore. It's very run down, shopping is awful, businesses are steadily leaving and prices are high. And there are some of the most stump stupid people here I've ever run into. I'm not saying they're the rule, but I think ignorance and laziness must go hand in hand, because I see a lot of both.
