You forgot to add: Nation's 3rd largest Death Row population
Pete Platis wrote: puzzled wrote in message ... A massive hurricane seems to hit Florida every few years. I really don't understand why people continue to live there. Don't they get tired of having to evacuate every summer, and having their houses destroyed? Someone explain this to me. Well , hurricanes are one reason but Florida has a host of others to stay away: 1. Cockroaches ......LOTS OF EM ( also known as "palmetto bugs" in order to water down the icky factor, don't be fooled though, they are just larger roaches......that fly........very well) and a plethora of other pests that you WILL come into contact with on a personal level whether you want to or not..........this includes scorpions and brown recluse spiders btw, both poisonous. 2. Staggering humidity ( well not all of florida but anything south of the tropical line is brutal) 3. Job market isn't so great. 4. There ain't no mountains, not a one!. There has basically GOT to be something wrong with that. In fact , the highest point in the state is only a measely *345* feet high!. 5. Swamps........hell most of the state is a swamp. 6. Highest percentage of over 80 year olds behind the wheel of a car.......THAT can't be a good thing. 7. Alot of white trash, yeah I know that can be found in alot of states. Just seems worse in Florida for some reason though. 8. Basically Florida has one or 2 seasons, depending on where you live in the state. For a 4 season kinda guy like me , not a good thing. 9. Alligators coming into contact with people in or near their homes, killing or maiming them and/or their pets. It's not a good thing. Been happening more frequently too. 10. FLORIDIANS ARE VOTING-MACHINE CHALLENGED. In case any of you are wondering, yeah I spent a couple of years in that awful state. Enjoy the remainder of your evening. |

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. puzzled wrote in message . ..

The Brothers Bush had the monopoly a few years back with Dubya in
Texas and Jeb in Florida. How's that for compassionate conservatism :-) On Mon, 06 Sep 2004 11:29:32 -0400, Tutor wrote: You forgot to add: Nation's 3rd largest Death Row population Pete Platis wrote: puzzled wrote in message ...

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.
