Whatever. I could see me living there. It's very beautiful. a lot
nicer than the flatlands of nowhere that I'm living in now.


Coastal south carolina has its charms, but the state is still fighting
the civil war, and the racism is overt and really ugly. At one point a
few years ago, we were considering buying a small condo at hilton head
island, which we like, but we decided the state was just too politically
backwards for us.


Everything you see is what you want it to be, Harry.



I see no reason to live in or otherwise financially support a state
where many of the officials are racists, corrupt, and backwards. When we
drive the interstate to Florida, we gas up the car in North Carolina or
Georgia so we don't have to stop and spend a buck in South Carolina. To
me, South Carolina is the modern-day equivalent of the old Mississippi
and Alabama.
