I don't think you know very much about the State of Missouri. Its sons and daughters have done a lot for this nation just to list a few:I hates to break it to you show me state, but Misery is not the south. I know, you had plenty battles, 776 to be exact up there plus Quantrill and his rabble, but Misery ain't the south. Just saying. Maybe you should move some place more civilized like your neighbor to the south. IQ's actually increase as you move south, which is rare here. Every time I go to Misery it's just camaros on blocks, and trailer houses, kind of like most of Arkansas.![]()
