Actually, I was born in Mississippi, not Tennessee, so we were too mired in poverty to file for bankruptcy.
Cheers to that, a lot of good folk come from Mississippi.
This is going to seem un-Texan of me, but sometimes I admire the poverty of Mississippi. It makes (SOME) people appreciative of what they have and a simpler life. It makes Mississippians more resourceful and more connected to the environment.
Every time I visit family in Mississippi I am reminded of what made this country great. The internet speeds suck WAY too much for me to live in the parts that I would live in, but I do think the big tree farm we call Mississippi is filled with good folk.

I get that illegal aliens drop the grad rate, but it really doesnt change the fact that they are a part of your population. It isn't going to change.

Yeah, the individual high schools can get away with low rates because they use the school-within-a-school model to boost their numbers. But all that rolls up at a state level.
Maybe we can form a state-within-a-state. Too bad the name New Mexico is already taken, that would be the perfect title for everything below San Antonio.

DeAndre McDaniel punched her, throws girlfriend down a flight of stairs, and then tried to smother her with a pillow. Somehow he got PreTrial Intervention and not attempted murder, thanks IPTAY.

Also in 2011, Clemson freshman DE Xavier Littleberry was arrested Monday for assault and battery of a female at her University of South Carolina dorm room. Police noted abrasions and swelling on her face and a rip in her sweater.
Littleberry “maliciously” assaulted his girlfriend by grabbing her and throwing her against a wall.
The warrant quoted Littleberry telling police: “I put the marks on my girl.” The victim said Littleberry, who is listed at 6 feet 6, 238 pounds, “jumped her,” according to the warrant.
In 1986, 4 Clemson Players were arrested for Gang Rape; Kenny Flowers, A.J. Johnson and former players Craig Crawford and Duke Holloman. The victim was the mother of another former Clemson player. Police allowed Flowers's attorney, Dick Harpootlian of Columbia, to talk with the woman in the town police station. Harpootlian persuaded the woman not to pursue the case. At the time, she had no attorney.
On February 22, 1996-Two Clemson football players were released from jail yesterday and two others remained behind bars after a judge set their bonds at $20,000 on charges of raping a student on campus.

Terry Smith, Clemson's career receiving leader in football, was shot and killed by police who found him attacking his estranged wife with a kitchen knife, authorities in Lithonia, Ga., said.
Smith, 26, who led Clemson in receiving from 1990 to 1993, apparently had kicked in the door of Angela Smith's home when DeKalb County officers arrived and saw the knife-wielding Smith holding the woman closely, with their 2-year-old daughter wedged between them.
Officers told Smith to drop the knife, but he refused, shouting, "Kill me! Kill me!" the police report said.
As Smith prepared to resume stabbing, the patrol supervisor fired once. That shot failed to stop Smith and two other officers fired their weapons, the report said.
Smith was fatally wounded.
Angela Smith, 24, suffered multiple stab wounds to her upper body and a gunshot wound to the right forearm. She was hospitalized in stable condition. The 2-year-old, whose name was withheld, had a gunshot wound to the side and was listed in stable condition.

Truth is, I didn't grow up poor, but had plenty of relatives that one could euphemistically call "salt of the earth types." I do see your point, though most of them would probably have been happier not having to barely scrape by most months. It's easier to praise the virtues from where we stand than from where they stand, right?
