Signs of paranoia over pedophilia

Mississippi, the state with more i's than any other, plans to turn its roadways into real "i-sores." Starting this summer, the Department of Human Services will adorn 100 roadside billboards with the images and offense descriptions of convicted sex offenders, particularly those who victimized children. So, as some states strive to clean up and beautify highways, Mississippi will be littering theirs with ugly mug shots and disturbing reminders of children overpowered. Families enjoying a Sunday drive will see the scruffy face of some pervert along with banners such as "raped a 12-year-old girl."
