While it's true that Florida is more Southerly than most, we have an overflow of Yankee's here. I suppose that since we Southerner's are so stupid, we should return the favor by moving to the North. Naah, we're smarter than that.
HA we've already taken what we wanted in Florida. The Yanks came down took your coast, raised the cost of living and push the
hillbillies into the middle of the state. I've lived a good part of my life in FL and saw plenty of that. We don't want your southern state, we just want you coast line and your Keys and us Yankees own pretty much all of it now. You can have the crap in the middle and FL has plenty of that, swamps and temperatures so hot you can fry and egg on the dirt. We like to buy the stuff with nice breezy beach views which look out into the water, but not inland. Which Florida to
too flat too look inland anyhoo.
Point is the Yanks already took what they wanted, ain nothing money can't take. Just keep Florida as a southern state, if that's what you really think it is. It will reduce the chance of another civil war. The last thing a beach front living, pina coloda sipping, sport fishing boat owning, yacht club dining, early morning golf playing northerner in Florida wants to do is piss of a southerner who thinks they are right about something. Last time that happened it got really ugly, but luckily the northerners took that trophy home for the winning team. Northerners just want to enjoy what they paid for, life is just darn too short to fight about who owns Florida.
