Only way to enjoy it!"<BR/><BR/>Agreed! I have a lot of catching up to do on your more recent posts. Just as you urged me to keep an open mind about Mississippians, I urge you to keep an open mind about my views on "other" subjects. I am a moderate, but in the eyes of extreme conservatives, that looks like liberalism. Just goes to show you how far the pendulum has swung to the right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11693888.post-1124582947627521412005-08-20T17:09:00.000-07:002005-08-20T17:09:00.000-07:00jonathan,I'm glad that you were able to meet with ...jonathan,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you were able to meet with some good people and that most of your memories of Mississippi are good ones.

Believe me, I know what you say about the people there is true. The state gets a bad rap. There were some pretty bad folks, there, too, and I never told anyone which hotel I was staying at. But I have mostly great memories of Mississippi. Especially the catfish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11693888.post-1124575238737247622005-08-20T15:00:00.000-07:002005-08-20T15:00:00.000-07:00Jonatahn,Thanks.

Please know that the majority of us who live in Mississippi are disgusted by groups like the KKK, David Duke and others who would try to keep people from enjoying their freedom and rights. <BR/><BR/>I won't know about the photo contest until next month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11693888.post-1124570864722243612005-08-20T13:47:00.000-07:002005-08-20T13:47:00.000-07:00Good post, good issue.

I can tell you from experience as a lawyer who has practiced in Mississippi on civil rights issues, there is the very real possibility that the judge was intimidated. Not exactly a profile in courage, eh? <BR/><BR/>By the way, I love that comic strip you post. . . .
