“The mobs of the great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.”

Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIX, 1782. ME 2:230

I lived in one of those blue areas that was so degenerated that they named it New Jersey. South Florida has its share of tyrannical wannabes, but it also has a healthy population of individuals who see government as something to be controlled, not to be controlled by. Besides, the rest of the state keeps the stupid liberals in line.
