to excuse our states from being last in everything.

Mississippi has often been spurned for being last-in-place for almost everything. I know that I have often given MS hell for not having adequate rest stops. Sure, the WELCOME CENTERS are great, but there is nothing in between--no rest stops, no restrooms, nothing. But if the school kids in MS don't have to supply notebook paper, composition books, hand sanitizer, kleenex, pencils, markers, erasers, paper towels, sanitary wipes, etc, etc, like they do in Georgia...well, I'll willingly pass through Mississippi without taking a pee break.
