You people up there are bat-crap crazy. Do you really think that government is no good for anyone? Do you think you are totally self sufficient? Did you pave the road in front of your house? Have you bought a fire fighter just for you? How about your own police officer? Do you have a tutor for your child? I could go on and on, but I am sure you have quit reading long ago. The price of citizenship is taxes. Suck it up, Buttercup. Wow. You people up there are bat-crap crazy. Do you really think that government is no good for anyone?

I am very enlightened and a staunch conserative american that believes that we are all egual and no one needs special programs. There are exceptions to everything. Nothing is always.

I don't know Vikki Garrett from Adam's housecat but I'd be willing to listen to her and hear her ideas for making people's lives better. After all, if you aren't happy with the way things are going in Florida then you can't shove that blame on Democrats. The Republicans have completely controlled Escambia County since 1994 and the entire state since Jeb Bush was elected governor in 1998. It's difficult to understand the finger pointing at Democrats as big government money wasters when they haven't had a voice in what happens in Florida for a very long time. Since when is having an education a bad thing? Are you implying that no small business owners are educated? Like it or not, our economy has changed permanently. A high school diploma is not enough to earn you a comfortable future unless you are fortunate enough to live in one of the few places with robust manufacturing bases. Northwest Florida is not one of those places. It really hurts to see so much insularity and ignorance on display in the place where I was born and raised. I recall when I was coming along that parents encouraged their children to pursue higher education because they knew it was the only way for their kids to get ahead. I guess that has changed now and we want our kids to grow up uninformed, unaware, and blissfully ignorant to the world around them.

We need more big government democrats seeking new ways to waste money like a fish needs a bicycle. We know you'd work hard for the Railroads... and empty our pockets subsidizing it when if fails. We already have a boondoggle of a Transportation System in NWFL called ECAT. The windows of the buses are tinted so dark, so you can't see how few people are onboard.

The passenger rail service has been tried before, and failed from non-interest. Coupled with a tendency to de-rail resulting in carnage and death, public interest quickly evaporated. A dead horse here. Move on. Some people never learn. The passenger rail service has been tried before, and failed from non-interest.
