miami needs fixin

the majority of the population are only legal because of the wet food/dry foot law and without that probably wouldnt even be here.
if youre from a poverty ravaged third world country living in the middle of nebraska would probably seem like paradise. most normal americans have higher expectations.
so what do i care what they think? they have nothing in common with me or my expectations and to top it off, a whole bunch of them are racist towards americans. again, why should i care what they think?

Well technically I am from a third world country (Miami) and Nebraska does seem like a paradise compared to most of Miami. The immigration issue was crammed down out throats thanks to the communist dictator Castro. If it wasn't for the overwhelming flow of Cubans the other Latin Americans would probably not feel at home here. A modest flow of Cuban immigrants would have created a whole different scenario, look at the first wave who escaped Cuba in the 1960's. Many of them settled in Miami without too much trouble. In the 80's it all changed for the worst.

you'd better care, because like it or not..it affects you. Someday even Nebraska will have a latin-influenced contigency.......

face it friend...you & I are minorities in the grand scheme of things.

i hate all those fuel tips that recommend you drive slower to decrease fuel consumption. thats not an option here. you will die if you try to drive slower.

[Jon F Moss]

Hehe....when I was younger (and more foolish) I used to say that the fast you drove....the harder it was for other cars to hit you!

[CiXeL]

heh i dont know about that. i just try to keep pace so people dont try to forceably pass me in any lane while leaving a big gap in front of my car for people who love to press the brake.

its just frustrating all those fuel economy tips sites that tell you to go slower to save gas. it simply isnt an option here if you want to live. i mean even if people obeyed the traffic laws here theyd die. people HAVE died slowing down to 25mph for the sunpass lanes and people dont expect it and slam into them driving them into the tolls and crumpling their cars killing them.

accelerating slowly from a stop isnt an option, nor is driving slower. not unless you want to get into an accident.

btw all the ghetto people down here at the gas stations are adding fuel additives to their tanks at the gas pumps. is there some ghetto trick i dont know about? im commuting from homestead to miami beach now. i could use a ghetto fuel economy trick or two.
