Yeah, some days I think the US civil war was a mistake, and the south should have just become a separate country. Sort of a "Mexico North", or something. Wit

  There is no hell hole in south, please do not dramatize things. Travel to south then go to east and west, you will see that if you are in big cities they are not that different from each other. Rural areas on the other hand are different from the cities. There is a widespread lack of education across the country mostly in rural areas and in poor urban areas. But it is not only south issue that is an issue all over the country. Combine that with wealth inequality and we get what we have. You can see the same trends in elections, big cities mostly go blue or even dark blue, even in traditionally conservative states.

  The problem isn't exclusive to Georgia (or the South). The State of Oregon also filed suit (later dismissed, IIRC) against Malamud for republishing their laws. And most progressive cities publish their official code through 3rd parties with restrictive copyright attached. This problem exists for all of America.
