Actually Toyota is building a new $1.3 billion plant in MS along Corridor X (future I-22), the economic conditions in MS have been steadily improving ever since casinos have been allowed.
I do agree there are some areas that are behind economically the rest of the U.S. I by no means would or even could compare it to Darfur. True in the MS delta the average family may not have air conditioning, televisions, cable or late model cars, but they are far better off economically than Darfur. Way more people die in Darfur due to poor living conditions than in MS, I think it is a an extreme stretch to even compare the two since "poverty" is relative.
