Having lived in Georgia, I want to say acouple things. First you need to know that your beliefs and the beliefs of your wife are the reason that jobs that actually pay well will never come to Georgia. You can't educate what amounts to 30% of your population give or take if you think they are morally bankrupt. There is a reason corps move jobs to georgia when they want to pay less.

Having gone to school in the south I will tell you that it is a really strange place. There was an expectation that as black person you would be stupid. Most of the black people I knew played along. I don't really get it.
