Some of the greatest literature of the U.S. was somehow produced in this place, but these ignorant, Bible-thumping politicians want to make the Bible the state's official book. Instead of wasting time on this shit like they do every single legislative session, I'd like to see them address the highest unemployment rate in the nation, lowest household income in the nation, and the laundry list of all the other stuff we're the worst at. But they never address any the state's colossal problems; all they do is pander to a fanatical base of extremists who hate the poor, hate anybody not white and heterosexual, love guns, and love all things related to Christianity.
Quote:JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi is the birthplace of William Faulkner, Richard Wright and recent U.S. poet laureate Natasha Trethewey. However, some lawmakers say they want to look beyond the secular literary world and designate the Bible as the state book.
