I'm not kidding you... the government of the state of Queensland, Australia (which I currently call home) changed the long-held slogan on our car license plates from "The Sunshine State" to "The Smart State"...

Everyone laughed at "The Smart State", and wouldn't buy cars with the new logo. The (left-wing loony) government was forced to change it back again.

There's a lesson in there somewhere - if only I wasn't too dumb to figure out what it was... ;-)

Florida is the Sunshine State. You guys will have to change it. I almost moved to Australia in 1976 when I got out of the USAF. Only the fact that my then wife now ex wife wanted to move back to Alabama to be near her sick mother stopped me.

I guess it was a lucky thing for me because it looks as if your government is taking freedoms away even faster than mine.
