OT: Living in AZ

Folks if you don't already live in AZ please stay where you are. If
you do live here and came here in the last 20 years please consider
going back to where you came from. We don't need newcomers here.
If you insist on coming, please bring your own water. This is a
desert climate. You can't have a lawn like "back home." Stop moving
here to get away from whatever ails your current home only to try and
make AZ just like where you came from.
Traffic is awful; you will just make it worse, especially when you
move out to the suburbs and then expect folks in older, established
neighborhoods to allow their lives to be disrupted by your desire to
get to where you're going in a hurry. If you demand freeways and
insist in moving to AZ, please go to Phoenix, where they have some.
Phoenix is in the middle of the state and is the capital, but it's not
really a part of AZ.
Our politics run to the conservative side with a few lunatic
exceptions. (There are plenty of right-wing lunatics too, but most of
them live in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix) Don't be like the lady who
moved here recently from Boston and now bemoans the fact that our U.S.
Senators are McCain and Kyl and her Congressman is Kolbe; "Terrible
choices" she was quoted as saying. She apparently overlooked the fact
that these gentlemen were already in office when she moved here. I
don't know why she didn't like Kolbe; he is gay after all. If you
want Ted Kennedy as your senator, please stay in Boston.
Many of us carry guns; openly and otherwise. If you don't like guns
stay in NYC, Chicago or D.C. where there aren't any.
There are many hazards here. We have scorpions, rattlesnakes, Gila
monsters, killer bees, Hanta virus and despite having only occasional
rain, mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus. Thanks to the influx of
illegal aliens, Hepatitis and TB are making a comeback.
If you have school-aged children they will need proof of vaccinations
against these diseases. The children of illegal aliens don't need
this proof. Your kids get to mingle with them in bi-lingual education
class.
Two of our three Interstate highways are now primarily used by drug
and alien smugglers. Be prepared to blunder into the not uncommon
running gun battle between competing smugglers or to avoid the
frequent vehicles fleeing the police.
Don't even think of moving within 50 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border.
U.S. Army Intelligence is headquartered at Ft. Huachuca, AZ. The
grounds of Ft. Huachuca are a drug and alien smuggling route. If the
U.S. Army can't keep them out of its yard, how do you think you will
fair? And if you do try, the government will take your property away
and give it to the Mexicans.
It gets hot here. Real hot. And it's dry. Your skin will shrivel up
like a prune. And speaking of skin, AZ is the skin cancer capital of
the northern hemisphere. And there's no shade. Our desert trees
would be called bushes where you come from. If you want green, stay
home. The desert is occasionally green but for the most part, it's
really gray. It's not for nothing that most desert animals are gray.
No, if I were you, I'd definitely not move to AZ.
