Not measuring up to the rest of the states doesnāt make Alabama pathetic. Most of Alabama is farmland and farmers donāt get rich from the food they grow. Your state has an unfair advantage and it surprises me that you donāt see that. Also, I looked at crime ratings and it should be noted almost all cold states have less crime. Another unfair advantage when reading statistics.
Its only cold up here for 3 months. Alaska is colder and has much worse crime than most.
We have an āunfair advantageā because we prioritize education and healthcare. Our highest paid state employees donāt coach tackle football.

A couple of years old, but good news.
Amen. Prioritize education and healthcare and watch a lot of your problems disappear.
Youāre right, Dan. I do understand that Alabama prioritizes violent sports over education and as it seems many southern states have education low on the list of priorities, including Oklahoma. Itās difficult for me to support the school system in its current state though. First, teachers pay is low. Way too low so we just donāt have good teachers here. All the good ones go north where the highest paid jobs are. There is no reason for this except our leaders are too incompetent to understand it. Then, there is this nonstop push to vaccinate which in my opinion is not necessary, at all. I hate vaccines and their effects but our government is relentless and I just donāt hold out hope that they will stop injecting it into our most innocent. To make matters worse, all vaccines will be administered through a patch. They may even come with a do-it-to-yourself instruction pamphlet. Children shouldnāt be subject to 72 doses of vaccines filled with mercury and aluminum. Itās insanity in a poison-filled bottle. Lastly, itās about what they teach. Colleges take a mind and twist it to question the existence of a Higher Authority when we all know thatās a lie from Hell and little children are made to believe their is something wrong with them, with their gender, instead just guiding their minds in the way they should go. Itās pathetic.
Iām not against an education, Reg. I have never been against Education. But Danās education has only taught him that Alabama is a pathetic state. I can only imagine what he thinks about the other 48 lowly states. In my opinion, the internet is a great source for knowledge although Iām certain you would recommend reading a book.
Michele,
-
I agree about teacher pay, which should be fair.
-
Vaccines exist in all states as far as Iām aware. They are not the reason Alabama sucks.
-
All states question Higher Authority (God). That is not the reason Alabama sucks.
-
The Internet and books are both great sources of knowledge, but both require you to pick the source carefully. If you read a book or a post written by a lying idiot, there will be little value gained regardless of the medium.

Iām not a worshipper of books. I have read a lot of them. I continue to prefer them for fiction over TV or movies. I believe reading a lot of them usually leads to better grammar and diction. These days, I question whether they are a good way to understand most things. I value the fact checking process, which doesnāt exist in books. If someone writes a 300 page book and, on page 3, they make a ridiculous statement on which they base the rest of the book, you now have 297 pages of crap ahead based on a false foundation. On the Internet, that ridiculous statement gets fact checked within seconds and we can focus on that before wasting more time. Of course, if one doesnāt fact check, one doesnāt benefit from that advantage.
