(541 posts)I often (Too often, frankly) marvel at people who proudly call themselves liberals, and then bash a place they don't even have much real experience with. Isn't part of being 'liberal' Being Open To places/people/things other than What You Know?
I have family, and friends in Mississippi, and it's always Good being in Mississippi, for me. I think more people should actually visit / learn more about places they're not very familiar with, rather than quickly slamming them on online forums. It'd be like me slamming California or NYC because I've never been, and don't know a ton about them -- well, ok, been to NYC for one day: business meetings.
And to those Dawgs fans out there, I get to my sister in law's house in Starkville at least once a year. Great town, great times with family.
