Quote by Kinky Friedman
We're first on executions. We're 49th in funding public education. We're in a race with Mississippi for the bottom, and we're winning.
Summary
This quote criticizes the priorities of a particular government or society. It highlights the stark contradiction between the highest number of executions carried out, suggesting a focus on punishment, and the low ranking in terms of funding public education. The quote points out the irony that rather than prioritizing the well-being and development of its citizens, the focus seems to be on capital punishment, leading to a negative comparison with Mississippi, indicating a race to the bottom in terms of societal progress and priorities.
