"The incredibly wealthy lawyer elite also make Mississippi the poorest, most third world-like of all US states."
Not only is that statement wrong, but it is very tacky. Have you ever spent any amount of time in Mississippi?
BTW, Mississippi has indoor plumbing, now, and they DO wear shoes...but only when they have to.
Any of you Mississippians need physicians? Meridian has an epidemic of 'em. ;o)
