This state gets absurd sometimes. Our state legislature, having been encouraged to do so by the populace, is now on a rampage to destroy the evil property-tax-monster. However, the citizenry seem not to have realized that their property taxes aren't just gobbled up by the big-government-demon, but actually provide particular funds that have to come from somewhere.
So my fellow Floridians will soon discover that, whichever of the various plans being suggested in Tallahassee wins (9.25 % sales tax is being seriously considered!), they are stuck with a massive cut to the budgets of local government.
Yes, I obviously care that this may impact my own existence (I work for the city, in a public library), but the idea of cities shutting down their libraries, recreation centers, and parks (and probably more in some cases) scares me. It makes me start shivering and not really stop. I think it should make other people shiver too, once they realize what they've really done here.

blue blue
| Your Psyche is Blue |
 You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you. By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go. While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side. When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding |

i'm smart in important ways...
| Bacardi 151 Congratulations! You're 155 proof, with specific scores in beer (120) , wine (150), and liquor (113). |
| All right. No more messing around. Your knowledge of alcohol is so high that you have drinking and getting plastered down to a science. Sure, you could get wasted drinking beer, but who needs all those trips to the bathroom? You head straight for the bar and pick up that which is most efficient. |
 |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 97% on proof
