(2,952 posts)I live 5 minutes from the shore, 5 minutes from the worlds most famous speedway, an hour from the worlds most famous mouse...It's a crazy place here, and we have our share of problems, but I'd like to add that our voters, in this case voters of Puerto Rican descent, gave Florida to Obama in 2012. Orlando is probably one of the most diverse city's this side of San Francisco. We have beautiful lakes and woodlands to complement our beaches. The smaller coastal communities are pretty laid back from my 20 years of experience living here. Yes we have our asshats and yes we have a douche-nozzle governor...most states do it seems...there are a lot of good, honest hardworking people here...we have an uphill Battle, but we are not Texas yet, not by a long shot. Florida is my second home...I've had to watch Texas devolve to it's current state, I'll be damned if I let this beautiful state get sucked down the toilet too....
