You’re far underestimating how bad off all those 3rd world countries actually are. The average HDI (Human Development Index) of an Alabama county is about an 0.82 which falls firmly in the developed region. Well above developing countries (2nd world) and FAR FAR above any 3rd countries (0.6 and below).

It's even more fun to compare the GDP for Alabama against entire countries in Europe.
Yep. Equates to Spain and Italy on a per capita basis.

Alabama has one of the countries oldest non-updated State Constitutions in the USA, in fact it might even be the oldest.

Ummmmmm....no. It is the nation's longest. It is also probably the nation's most updated as it has 928 amendments. It is a horrible constitution, but if you're going to criticize it, do it for the right reason.


That's it. I was there for a few years back in the 90's and there was a movement at the time to have it re written. I think the guy died that was pushing for it a Dr. Cortes possibly?

Every county in the OP is solidly blue. In fact, they've never voted for a republican presidential candidate.

In short, OP is a dumbfrick.

There's talk every few years, but it never goes anywhere. As bad as it is, our current crop of legislators would just frick it up even more if they tried re-writing it.

That's why there's Doug Jones to restore order in a land of sheer chaos. Other than Nick Saban it's hard to locate a person in that state w/ an I.Q. > 100.

No youre just a partisan bitch.
62.1% of people voted for Trump vs 34% for Hillary. The vast majority of your state is conservative.

And for those of you that want to use the impoverished areas or try to blame it on the minorities in the state that your state sucks so bad, try to remember that it was all of your kind that wouldn't even let those people into school in the 60s

Don't be such a dismissive little weasel. I'm going to take information from them before I'm going to believe you.

Is there poverty in Alabama, I would bet on it. How many of those in poverty vote dem?

Compare what the US defines as poverty, and it is a far far richer existence to that of a third world country...

Jesus said, "The poor will always be with you..."
