Why are people in tampa/st petersburg such begrudgers. (low crime, house)

I swear, you all are like an endless loop of a mind control tape-"If you don't love Florida, you hate your life". "If you're not happy in Florida, you won't be happy anywhere." " I love Florida-there must be something wrong with you"."If you don't have a big stupid grin on your face you must hate yourself." Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

For what it's worth, my family's connection with Florida goes back 3 generations and my ex-wife had family here in the 1800s. I've been around long enough to form my own opinion.

Me too!

In fact, it is not "since." It is she had family in 1800's

So much anger.So much bitterness.Florida must have owned you good.

Just out of interest, now that you're " done with Florida " ( in three years time) where is the next place you hope to be sad,angry and cynical in ?

Yes, that has so much to do with what is going on in 2011.

I have family that lived in Sweden in the 1940's, I am sure they would love my insight on how the country is being run today, it would mean so much.
