You don't have to look very far to see that. <br /><br />South Carolina is experiencing negative economic development as it's neighbors, GA and NC, enjoy constant growth--even in a period of extreme recession. There are many reasons for this, but the one I'm the most interested in is the legislature's prohibitive stance on annexation, and the state's ability to foster strong cities.<br /><br />It's not about Prius' or starbucks, etc. At least not for genuine Democrats. It's about uneducated people being lied to, and suffering because of it. <br /><br />Why do you think officials in this state don't support education? <br /><br />(Now, you're right--Liberals go about this in the wrong way, and a way that is easy to characterize as you have done above. The left is full of hypocrisy, and it's infuriating to folks who actually have a stake in the real issues, not just those keith olbermann ones.)<br /><br />I guess what I'm saying is the Constitution is all well and good. As long as your constituents can't read it.<br /><br />Ashleyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303286222680078611noreply@blogger.com
