We did think some about Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, et cetera, because that's where black people were denied education and rights, and were beaten and sometimes lynched. When it comes to race relations, Maryland is a leader of the pack, eh? http://tinyurl.com/d4ee4vv "A national report by the same organization found that Maryland was the sixth-most-segregated state in the country for black students." I suppose you included Maryland in the 'et cetera', eh? Perhaps you should spend a bit of time looking in your own back yard. -- I have seen far more racism in Maryland and DC than I ever have in Florida but I have not spent much time up in the south Georgia part. My daughter went to school up in the pan handle and she says that whole I-10 corridor is unreconstructed southerners. Perhaps that is what Harry is referring to. He is a Jacksonville fan. The "whole I-10 corridor" of Florida is very sparsely populated. There are no substantial towns along it from Jacksonville to Tallahassee and not much in the way of population from Tallahassee to Alabama. The Jacksonville area is populated with over-religious, conservative and backwards people, but Tallahassee is hardly that way. Even in Jacksonville, though, the huge Baptist churches were integrated. Catholics were the ones discriminated against...and I suspect the Jax area was far too backwards to appeal to very many Jews. I liked the seasonality of NE Florida, compared to southern Florida, and I also liked the uncrowded beaches, the flora, the boating and the fishing. But it was pretty much a cultural and intellectual wasteland, otherwise. If I were going to move back to Florida, I'd go for Fernandina in far NE Florida, or somewhere around Ft. Lauderdale. Both are great for boating and fishing and Ft. Lauderdale is not a cultural, intellectual and overly religious wasteland. Looks like you've gotten off the 'racism' kick and are now on the cultural and intellectual kick. Well, southern MD is not your basic intellectual and cultural hotbed, is it Krause? -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. I was wondering about that. If one wants intellectual and cultural stimulation, one doesn't move to Podunk, MD. Hell, the *only* things MD have going for it are Annapolis and Box Hill Pizzeria crab cakes. :) Well, the Calvert Marine Museum is pretty close to Huntingtown. And there's probably an adult book store around there somewhere. So he's probably kept pretty well stimulated. He does say he thinks about sex a lot. I think about sex because I'm still having it. You seem to think a lot about model airplanes, probably because you are not having sex. -- Proud to be a Liberal. |
