Well, seeing as to how you're a yankee and I'm a Southerner, you really don't want an honest answer to that question now do you ?...lol
I mean who would voluntarily live in a can of sardines surrounded by crime, grime and slime when they have the CHOICE to live amongst scenic countrysides, rolling hills, green pasture's, clean air, gorgeous women, low to moderate crime rates, excellent cuisine's, fishing, hunting, golfing, water sports, etc etc...
So are you just "nuts" ?...lol Look at where you are living...
Please don't be offended, I'm being satirical..
