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?

Where else would you want them to live? Twister alley? Earthquake
country? Buffalo?


I don't think any part of the US is completely safe from weather, earthquakes
or fires. If there is such a place, I'd love to know about it.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the millions who are affected by
Frances.

Seems their constituents liked em. They kept getting voted back into
office. Still do too. G

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 popular vote means dick in the grand scheme of things, as the
Founders intended. One should also note that Dubya was reelected to
an unprecedented second term in Texas as a Republican governor. He
resigned that post to run for President. Seems that the Texans liked
him. Even the Democratic ones as he got 66+% of the vote.

Now about Ann Richards...chuckle....

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.

That Texans find Dubya OK speaks more to the poor judgement of the
populace than to the success or qualifications of the office holder.

....."we need to get rid of that guy Sammy Sosa" ....
.... George Bush while running the Texas baseball franchise.
