Arkansas - we must have the same news crew as Mississippi. NO I'm not barefoot AND pregnant. We don't fight like the Hatfields and McCoys. There are quite a few of us who are educated. We don't dress like Lil'Abner and Daisy Mae. Though I wish I had Daisy's figure. LOL. We don't live in shacks and hunt for our dinner.
We have a beautiful state. YeeHaa Yall!

Not all of speak with a drawl (though I probably do!). And typically "movie" southern accents are horribly inaccurate!!
I think education is very important here and my public school education was excellent. It is true though if there is a disaster the news crew is certain to find a toothless, bedraggled and generally pitiful specimin of humanity to represent us. Does that happen in your state?
