You should quit getting your information on the SOuth for the racist leftist press.
We in the rural south are armed, our ecomonies are booming, and we have plenty spare land to sale that no one currently lives on. If GM or Weyerhauser want to build a factory, we would be more than happy to sale them open fields and forests of land that no one currently lives on, but are on both a fourlane highway and a railroad.
Yeah, that textile industry sure is booming...off in Vietnam. Seriously, I realize that there are Toyota plants in Mississippi and the like, but I believe that the forested land on a highway out on "that" side of town is definitely owned by SOMEONE.
