I am more than welcome to hear what the other side has to say. Provided that it is regarding the actual issue and not just an excuse to be an undercover racist, bash another culture, or demean someone due their socio-economic status.

And if you live in S. Florida (like I do) it's been on the LOCAL news. So I didn't need to read that (one) article (which is not the end all be all of the issue because other articles actually do exist about it) to know what people have been doing in towns 10-30 miles from me. I have more insight on the matter than what the article merely states and as others have said before me, it is not a serious request, it is merely one to draw attention to the fact that our taxes are being used to fund things in other parts of the states and we are not receiving that money back DESPITE the fact that we have severe home foreclosure, high property taxes, higher poverty rates, etc. The state of Florida has been cutting the budgets on things like schools and services for the elderly, disabled, and other public services. They are upset because we give so much and it's being taken and now the cuts are making it even worse.
