Your defensive response to a statement that was obviously intended to be humorous led me to take a little look at how Alabama does in comparison to other states.
If you have a look here, http://www.msubillings.edu/caer/quality_rankings_of_education_in.htm
I am sure you can be proud that in most cases at least 4 other states consistently do worse than Alabama in education.
So, I guess I should congratulate you on your ability read and write; (that punctuation mark is called a semi-colon) since according to you, all that Bubba and Billybob know how to do is fight.
The obvious statement was meant to be a definative statement that when one lives in glass houses and throws "humerous statements" out, such as yours, that others may not be so touched by your humor. Sorry that went over your head, but it seems as though most things do! In fact, where does it say in my post that I'm from Alabama? I do not, nor have I ever, lived in Alabama, but I did a lot of work in Huntsville, Alabama-which, by the way, has more PhD's per capita than any city in the USA. I happen to think that Alabama has more of a chance at success in the future than any of the other "bottom 48", and they have made great strides in coming forward. As far as Bubba and Billy Bob, they might even show you the moon! (They build really nice things called rockets in Alabama!!!) Have a wonderful, stress-free day, and thanks for reminding me that folks like you exist.
