Speaking of this, I got a Florida land scam brochure in the mail today. Now, imagine the following. These people are trying to get me to pay money for land in Florida, so presumably, they are trying to make this place look attractive, right? They want to say something which will make me desire to go live in Florida.... They are trying to put this plot in Florida in the best possible light.... And so, the brochure opens with: "If you LOVE New England, You'll LOVE Citrus Hill Florida!" Yeah, right. "It's just like New England, without the winter...." And this is supposed to make me want to spend my retirement there? Egads, the sooner I leave this god-forsaken corner of the country, the better. Head back down to Dixie. (Nothin' personal, Jamie, but I guess I prefer Virginia ....) I mean, I'll admit that this Yankee territory is not a total loss...for example, there is 95 South. Still, seeing what passes for Northern Hospitality, and the Northern Gentlemen, it is no wonder they fought to keep the South around. (And despite their best efforts during the cultural rape and retaliation of reconstruction, they have neither destroyed Southern culture, nor improved their own.) YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAH! The SOUTH shall Rise Again! -Tim"reluctantly Rhode Island"J
