I’ve lived in three different states (Florida was one) and I liked them all. You sound like General Robert E. Lee.   He said he would have fought for the North if Virginia had gone to the North. Sweet Virginia was too lovely for him to abandon.

I grew up in Florida and couldn’t leave it fast enough

I do like the Tampa/St. Pete area though, if I had to move back down there, that would prob be the area I’d go to. Or St. Augustine. I like St. Augustine a lot.

I have been to Florida once, it was pretty wrecked and there was no gasoline anywhere.  Other than that it was great.  Loved the ocean.

I love my country. I don’t want to live anywhere else but here.

Me neither. It’d be too far to commute.

Live or Work…

If you live somewhere, the commute would be far less

Okay, I guess it’s time to ‘fess up, the joke’s gone on long enough.

Sorry guys, but it was all one great big experiment.

We sent all the criminals we could find to Australia, and all our religious nuts to America. Next we sat back and observed their progress.

Surprisingly, after a few generations the Aussies turned into rather decent blighters, able to field dashed good cricket and rugby teams (though they seem to have completely misread the rules of football). Meanwhile the Merkins concentrated on producing newer and more extreme variants of religious nut. Obviously we were quite alarmed by this and sought to terminate the experiment early for the safety of all involved, but we had, in our eagerness to conduct this worthy enterprise, neglected to select only pacifist religious nuts. Fortunately, we reasoned, the great expanses of the pacific and atlantic oceans would keep we civilised men safe.

Which hurricane?

And by deporting all your criminals and religious nuts you’re left with a nation of wusses* who doesn’t even aspire to an empire anymore.

*save for Thatcher, but she can’t be everywhere at once. 

I emmigrated.

The ocean can be quite lovely, when you’re not viewing it in your own living room.  But then this end of the Gulf Coast suffers that problem, as well.

I’d live under the sea if I could.
