For pete's sake...there must be more important things to deal with there in Virginia, I'd think.

Yup. Much of Virginia is rural, undeveloped and poor. It's numbers look better because of a few very wealthy counties around DC. But go a little bit south, and you're basically in Mississippi.

And I'm not talking about the charming parts of Mississippi, but the crushingly poor segments.

Uh, no. I've been everywhere in Virginia. I've also been to Mississippi. Some places in Virginia are poorer than others, but Mississippi? I have to vigorously disagree with you there. Maybe at one time, yes, but not for the past 30 years.......
