Not all crackers are crackpots.

There's a real plus side to Mississippi's anti-gay law. It forces all the homophobes and bigots into the sunlight. They can sanctimoniously refuse service to persons whom they feel are violating their asinine biblical laws, and those persons can go to other more liberal merchants bearing the above sign. Ergo: fair minded people make profits; narrow minded people get to ring up "no sale" and feel incredibly pious with every non-purchase. We all know that not everybody in Mississippi is a bigot, just the lawmakers and the crazy fundamentalists who add their own interpretations to the bible. Unfortunately everybody is going to feel the pinch as more and more tourists will be crossing The Magnolia State off their "places to visit" list. And, of course, they can't go to Georgia without worrying about being shot by gun-toting crackers who can now bring firearms just about everywhere. Hmmm,  pretty soon the entire Crazy South will be off limits.
