Bur first from me... Actually, having lived in Florida a couple times over the years, I must say, the topics he pooh-pooh's are illustrative of what bothers me greatly about the state. Shucks, I went to school in Florida in the forties and just loved the place. That remains. It is the Elian's and Terri's under the steam roller that blocks me from coming back.
Jean Reno, Major Reno, Reno NV, fine, Janet Reno, no way.
Your "Dueling Columnists" of Dec. 9, Florida's worst and best, had a few valid points, but was mostly repetitious on both sides, not unique as to Stephen L. Goldstein's points, and, frankly, idiotic as to Mr. Guy's listed items. Are we to celebrate the hyperbole and lunacy of the Elián Gonzalez and Terri Schiavo cases? We were a laughingstock during the butterfly ballot and chad count issues.
As to Floridians' "laid-back" attitude, how about calling it what it is? Stupidity and lack of interest, which brings me to Mr. Goldstein's first item, which, unfortunately, is true. However, as are his comments on crooked politicians and insurance companies, these are not unique to Florida.............
