I would like to see this calling Florida the Death State "take" and become a common joke or saying. If freepers cannot do this, who could?

MarMema, I love you, so please understand when I say that my heart aches when I hear you say this! Although it may be going that way, and things have been on the downturn for a while, I still love the state of my birth. It is the home of most of the rest of my family, still. Florida was not always like this. It was a state that had a spot for some liberals, mostly moderates, and plenty of conservatives when I grew up. It is filled with a lot of people now who came after Disney set up shop. They love the weather and the laid back attitude, but they don't know that state was built on the backs of a lot of good, hard-working Americans, many very humble people. It tears me apart that this is going on in Florida, but you have helped make me aware that this kind of thing is going on in every state of our country. It makes my heart bleed for all of America, too. Sometimes I wonder if we aren't the great satan that other countries seem to view us as. I just had to tell you how this is tearing good people apart, so please, don't urge this shame on. It's horrible enough as it is.

Well I was going to say go up a state when drawing the lines for "civil war 2" but maybe if yall sent the democrats north we could still color you in. (I'm sorry, but I thought we all needed a chuckle)

Yes, this murder could be taking place anywhere. It just happens that it is in FL. We just had no idea of the rampant corruption in the whole Tampa Bay area -- virtually all institutions in at least that part of FL seem corrupted by big money interests.
