History

The Forrest County Environmental Support Team has been a strong community activist to make the East Side of Hattiesburg that connects with Highway 49 look equal to Highway 98.

The areas should reflect progress when citizens and visitors go on either side of Hattiesburg. The FCEST is arguing that city politics should include economic politics for all in Hattiesburg. There should not be any people living without sewage, water, and electricity.

For all who will read this, there are laws which prohibit parents who have children to live without electricity, at which point the local social programs come into play to help provide mechanisms to reduce and eliminate poverty. There has to be a system where the everyday person is reflected in everyday politics. Every human being has the right to live a life they want and have a right to be who they want, but when scarce income begins to become scarce living conditions, not only should minorities come together, but all people should come forward.

When one man does not have any rights, then the next man does not either. This is how it should be, but unfortunately it is not. Indoctrination of inferiority is a serious force because in order to go up against it, one must go up against tradition.
