I know all here believe in the principle of fairness so I am compelled  
to offer, that during the time Chris and I lived and worked in Little  
Rock--1987-88--it was common to hear, "thank god for Alabama." Or was  
it Louisiana? Anyway, Arkansas was then considered second to the  
bottom by economic measurements according to the natives we talked to.  
It was a perverse pride.
