Okay I'll try to answer point by point
1) Uneducated : not any more than the North (wanna talk about that guy who started speaking lombard in the EU Parliament?);
2) Unemployed : like the rest of Italy, albeit a little bit more because of shittier politicians;
3) Shit infrastructure : same as before;
4) Mainly agricultural : mainly touristic today;
5) Lack of industrialization : yes, in comparison with the North, but still, we have some big industries;
6) controlled by Camorra and 'Ndrangheta : not completely, Campania has problems with Camorra, Calabria has problems with 'Ndrangheta and Sicily has problems with Mafia, but Basilicata (where I live) and Apulia are relatively free of this shit (even though Apulia had Sacra Corona Unita, but it collapsed long ago).
Not to mention that 'Ndrangheta has practically invaded Lombardy.
It's really up to you how to grow up in this place!
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
