Gotta love Alabama, two years ago a good friend of mine moved there from Illinois, he hates it, and tells me all about the *wonderful* people he has met...

My friend told me about that sue thingy... he also said something about how the state is so poor, or something about the school system and how it's so deep in debt, and someting with the governor and schools and money. I guess they turned down federal funding to improve schools because they would then have to comply with federal education standards... huh, that's just a shame, complying with federal standards, and the governor responded with "No one is going to tell Alabama how to run school's!" I guess he was too busy advocating prayer in schools or something to that affect.

I was suprised to see Illinois so low on the list, I live in IL, but go to school in IA, and I never in a million years thought Iowans were smarter than we were... you should see how they drive.
