I don't understand the human need to be just like everyone else. It makes a person look, at times, incapable of thought and decision. They repeat what they hear as if it's fact.
In the case of modern Florida, this poor state is getting a big bad rap due to trendy remarks, even by editors and newscasters.
I have lived here a long time and we are not a "crazy" state or a state "where anything can happen", anymore than any other state.
Florida is not unique in its number of citizens who carry guns, its floundering education system, the number of alligators and insects that plague us, nor should our state be ridiculed that way.
The climate isn't even unique, in that much of the very south is the same.
Florida does attract too many people who are not willing or capable of remaining and putting down roots, so they flee and go back home, but in doing so, too often give crazy reasons for it.
Just don't believe everything you read and hear, because repeating it could cause you to seem off-base, and make Florida look bad, and that isn't good.
