Not a single one from Florida. I could have predicted that one.
....I hate my state...so very much.
....I hate my state...so very much. I thought you guys were under a big gulf storm right now?
How bout 'dem Bush boys.
If you think you got it bad, come live in Texas. We've got heat, 'publican's, drought, traffic, cows, and then it gets hotter.
They started this new thing here. It's called toll roads. They put those up all over the place. And if that's not enough of an insult, they're not even owned by the state of Texas. They're owned by other countries. Like China!

Bah! We have humidity, it makes a moderate day feel like....death.

Ah yea, lived here all my life. I especially enjoyed today, fell asleep on the couch.. woke up with about 20 ants all over my body and in my hair.

I'm from Florida as well. That almost happened to me one day: I had noticed some ants crawling on me that morning only to return to my bedroom 2 hrs later and find my entire bed covered with ants. There were literally hundreds of them on my bed.... I was struck with awe and disbelief.
The huge ass cockroaches, annoying humidity, religious fundies and crappy scenery (the beaches are ok, but everything else is swamp..) have me really missing the west coast. I suppose that the only good thing I could ever say about this place is that it is quite unlikely to be the target of a terrorist attack, since it already looks like the victim of one.
This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.

Ah yes, the cockroaches.. I remember, I fell asleep right on the carpet in my living room. Woke up because I felt something on my arm, I didn't have my contacts in so I lifted my arm (asleep on my back) and pulled it to my face to see. Whatever it was, it moved to my hand, so I put my palm to my face. This cockroach fell ONTO my lips man. I freaked out, started cussing up a storm. My dad came out of his room with a baseball bat..
Edit; lol.
Yup, that is another thing I despise about it. Florida is everything I don't like basically.
Well.. it seems the best 25 locations are all located in America..
I guess we will have have to immigrate.
I probably riddled that paragraph with grammatical errors and sentence fragments, just woke up.
Most of the "best places to live" sites measure cities based upon economics, city services, climate, and crime control.
But never, have I seen one base a measure on freedom. Living in an urban paradise doesn't mean much if you don't have full rights and freedoms (such as the Bill of Rights).
