Re: Why do people live in Florida?
Florida is not exactly the intellectual capital of the USA. Remember
the "hanging chad" fiasco, not sure those people should be voting.
Florida is just a dumb beach state, that's about all. Not much
importance in anything.

The Brothers Bush had the monopoly a few years back with Dubya in
Texas and Jeb in Florida. How's that for compassionate conservatism

Re: Why do people live in Florida?
The hanging chad had a legal definition of an acceptable vote. The
attempt to count them as required by law was stopped by those not
intellegent enough to realize that it was a valid vote - and those
folks live in Texas and Washington.

Why do northerners like myself suffer thru bitter cold winters,
snowstorms, and seasonal depression?

It doesn't "work" anywhere. All you get for your money is the satisfaction
of knowing that at least that PARTICULAR POS will not commit another murder.
There is no way to argue that any other benefit is obtained - other than
vengeance.

but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

King George lost the popular vote. Someone back me up, because I'm
not sure if he's the only one to do so.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity,
but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Re: Why do people live ANY WHERE
I live In North Carolina and would consider myself very fortunate to
live in Florida. Apparently millions others feel the same way as
Florida is and always has been one of the fastest growing states
population wise. Its hot down there in the summer but in the summer its
hot everywhere. One of the hottest vacations I ever had was in Quebec
City. I love Florida and its my favorite state. I usually go to Florida
every winter for one week and its always nice to leave winter behind for
a short time. The wild life is so abundant in Florida and the sky has a
blue hue that is so different from North Carolina. There are so many
unique places to visit in Florida. From Plant City where you can get the
best Strawberry shortcake, to Isamorada where you can eat the freshest
seafood at the Islamorada Fish Company, there is no other state in the
United States that can rival Florida. So I ask you, why do you live
where you do?

Sure you weren't the problem? ;-)
That reminds me of a joke... I will just give you the punch line as I
remember it.
After hearing about a nut driving the wrong way on the Interstate and
realizing her husband was probably in that area she called her husband to
warn him. his replay "Only one nut? I am swerving around hundreds of cars
going the wrong way on the Interstate!"
