RE:"In any case, I asked them what was going out down in FL and they blamed it all on the crackers...and then started laughing. I assume a cracker is the same as a redneck." A cracker is a native floridian, some add the redneck part. Florida has changed so much in the last 25 years and is so diverse I'm reluctant to even use the term anymore. So many people in SoFL weren't born here. SE FL is very much different that central, north and the west coast of FL. Miami is another country. The FL Keys are the conch republic. A lot of FLs demographics depends which road the people come down, I-75 or I-95. One thing for sure..right now we are starting to bust at the seams...and the environment is really suffering... Jim
