    Who says the SOUTH is backwords

    and behind the times?

    MINK, La. - There's a fish-fry Monday in this hamlet of 15 households to celebrate big news: phone service. Gov. Kathleen Blanco plans to call 83-year-old Mink resident Alma Louise Bolton from Baton Rouge to mark the occasion, which finally connects one of the nation's last rural areas without access to regular phone service.

    "We started in early 1970 trying to get a phone," Bolton said. "We'd talk to the phone company but they'd never call back.

    Ummmmm.......maybe it was because YOU DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE.

    the south isnt fucking backwards, but there are still places that are not as up to date as the rest.

      Well glad Mink, La is now up to 1876. Only 129 years to go. Maybe they'll get the internet around 2120.

            it cost louisiana tax payers like me $700,000 to get phone lines run through such a rural area

            700K for 15 houses to talk on the phone? who even uses land-lines anymore

              Listen for the last 12 years I have lived in this rural area of western Tennessee so I can comment on the backwardness of Southerners. I was totally shocked to learn that most of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck" jokes were based on FACT.

                I'd be less hypocritical if I could actually spell BACKWARDS right in my thread title.
