>Well..about the mid-80's, Miami went from sizzle to sleaze. One of the reasons I moved away and only come back when I have to. There are some of the most dishonest politicians I have ever seen in office here. In fact, one of the mayors of one of the suburbs here always gets accused of racketeering and always gets off and another was just arraigned for conspriacy to commit murder. It seems that the voters here keep voting these corrupt nutcases into office because, I guess, it's better the corrupt nutcase you know than the one you don't.

>Also, (I'm gonna hear it on this one), most politicians in office here are Hispanic immigrants and politically to the right of Adolf Hitler. And they seem to forget that they immigrated here to escape totaltarianism and corruption.....so they tend to do things the good 'ol 3rd world way here....that is, when they are not too busy organizing anti-Castro demonstrations or passing resolutions denouncing Mandela for supporting Ortega and Castro.

We have the opposite here. Too many politicians influenced by their religious right upbringing. Just last night the news had a story of one state senator that wants the state to get into the movie rating business because the Hollywood rating system is too liberal. His example was the new James Bond movie. He said it should be rated R because of sex and violence.
