RE:"Only the residents of FLA can change the behavior of its public officials. Until that happens, the Ms. Harrises of the world will continue to do what they do." Sure Ted, it's only FL. Other states and the feds are on the up and up...lol Jim, what does it matter what other states do? No doubt there is corruption everywhere to some degree. But the key is to what degree.............I suspect the degree of corruption is greater in FLA than it in a lot of other places, or it wouldn't be so apparent. Corruption usually likes dark places and not the media spotlight. Plus, its no secret that people have different values in different places, and that some cultures are noted for being more honest than others........I believe its the same with states in this country. In any case, its not my problem......you do what you want but don't be surprised if more issues of corruption and incompetency pop up in the media. ted
