Well....now before we get too far off on shredding Wisconsin we should point out some good things. Overall its a good place. I live in Madison and feeding kids beer is not condoned. Yeah, kids can have a sip but I've never seen a parent buying his or her child a beer. I would characterize the population of Wisconsin as hard working, common sense people. Education level is average (except where I live which is among the tops of any city in the nation) and crime is fairly low on the violent side of things. The major problems here are - 1) WAY too much drinking In the northern part of the state drinking is quite heavy but its a statewide issue. 2) Weight - our state isn't chunky....its fat! People don't take good care of themselves But don't be too quick to malign the entire state because overall we have a pretty damn nice population of down to earth people. Now get the hell off this thread before I sit my fat @$$ on you!! You're cutting into happy hour and that pisses both me and my son off <g> :-)
