This is South Carolina we're talking about....
Hey come on, don't blame it on the state. I'm from SC and I've turned out alright. Albit I play video games, but I'm a decent enough fellow. Got all my teeth, my family tree branches out not in, I was accepted into every four year college and university that I applied to, and am in the USMC reserves. So don't flame the state.
As for all the liberals, this is why your welfare and social reform acts have failed. You've failed to help the people who need it the most. The south has the worst public education system around and yet they get no extra money to bring it up to par. There are no reasons for the teachers to go to the rural communities, or even any communities at all to teach the children there. It is a failure of the socialist project in America in my eyes. I know calling it that is a little harsh but still, you say you are going to help the people but I lived there and if my mother and stepdad hadn't worked as hard as they did I wouldn't be where I am today. It wasn't the government's money or help, in fact they were hurt more by the government then helped by it because of all the high taxes paying for people that mooch off the system. /rant off
