Dear Anderson, As a lifelong resident of Mississippi, I was particularly interested in your show last night. Rest assured that the majority of Mississippians (at least the ones I know) are outraged by the recent actions of Haley Barbour. Until Barbour's recent comments on crimes of passion, I had never heard such ridiculous logic as those who commit them are unlikely to do it again. Why let them out and give them the chance? And, I appreciate your guest who pointed out that yes, Mississippi is a changed place from what it was in the 1950s, 60s, 70s.
