That's an experience that most people living in Florida for ten years have had. And walking their dog near a lake and meeting Florida's famous mascot - the GATOR.......won't that be a nice 1st time thrill?
......And the sink holes in the streets are getting bigger as the air is hotter and holds more water vapor - and thus more rain (like TODAY). Also more traffic on 441 and other highways as the Florida population increases. And the insurance increases.
......And I won't even mention that in 5 to 10 years people in Miami and both coasts will be relocating northward due to ocean rise and MORE insurance cost increases.
..........I hope that people see that ALL Florida problems (of which the inadvertent polluting of lakes and the Gulf with plastic grocery bags and styrafoam) is just ONE of many caused by too much population pressure. And the mistaken idea that MORE is better. It is NOT the MORE of everything that should be SOUGHT, but rather that point of MAXIMUM PROSPERITY and happiness for the average person.

Stanley North Dakota: cool summers, no alligators, no Gulf of Mexico, no sink holes, no fire ants, no gators, very few venomous snakes, 2000 people so little population pressure, no TOTV so no one to aggravate anyone, no grocery stores so fewer plastic bags, low housing and insurance rates.....
