None, however, are in Florida. :)

Having lived in nearly 2 dozen US cities, I think that Ocala, FL is rather polite. Perhaps you are thinking about the folks down on the Gold Coast, the land of the 'Hanging Chads'.

After reading my comments above, there is definitely irony in my telling you that Ocala is exactly the city where I actually lived in Florida, although I've been in most of the major towns in FL on many, many occasions. I lived smack-dab in the middle of the Ocala National Forest. A hell-hole. My kids couldn't walk into the front yard without being attacked by fire ants. There were poisonous snakes everywhere. The little pond at the end of the road had alligator snapping turtles the size of Buicks and an alligator. The mosquitoes came in clouds.

What a s**thole.

The people, aside from my immediate neighbor, weren't much of an improvement on the actual environment. Couldn't seem to give a damn if you existed or not, lived or died.

No thanks. Florida is one state permanently crossed off of this vagabond's list.
