Word of advice to the OP: never tell anyone in Florida that you are from New York.

Yep. Lot's ofr mortgage fraud, auto accident fraud, etc. There are other states were fraud is a huge problem. Just be careful what dealings you get involved in. Generally, peoples greed leads them into fraudulent deals.

I think South FL (Dade Co especially) has a lot to do with it. I know South FL led the nation a yr ago (still does probably) in almost every major fraud category there is. Why do you think that is? Do you think ppl involved in fraud are attracted to FL?

That is a dream, but would never happen. When the FL legislature attempted to make a law declaring the left lane for passing, it was vetoed by Governor Jeb Bush, who stated that the law would punish people who were not exceeding the speed limit--those idiots in the left lane driving under the speed limit, inefficiently holding up entire lanes of cars, creating road rage and causing accidents. To me, it was one of the single most stupid things Bush did as governor. I think of him every time there is a line of 30 cars inching along I-95, in which I am stuck, as I watch people lose their tempers and recklessly try to get around the inconsiderate, stupid or distracted slower drivers who choose to cruise the passing lane for no discernible reason.

It was such a stupid decision showing a lack of common sense, that it would probably make me think twice about voting for him.

State: Bush vetoes road rage bill
