Florida is the reason I think congressional government is failing. I am of the opinion now that state legislators and federal legislators should be drafted. The government pays you your salary for your regular job and maybe a bit extra and it's like jury duty. We might actually get some thoughtful people in government. Could any of us run for public office? I doubt it...most of us are working too damn hard.
My other thought is to make Florida a territory kind of like the Yukon. If they pass this mess they shouldn't be a state..since they only touch a couple places on their north end..no one would miss them, really.
