Of course some people won't believe a word the paper has to say because the paper "picks on" the Morses so much. Sigh.

The Morses could be absolutely perfect and yet because of their politics and the fact that they are rich some would continue to find fault with them. There is no reason to say things like they are "dancing around the laws", that is simply not true and not even the IRS has come near saying anything like that. I don't know them, you don't know them, no one knows them. This place is superior to anyplace I have ever lived and the Morses dreamed it up and keep it nice. It sometimes feels like some people because of the above mentioned prejudices would be tickled pink with any wrongdoing proven on the part of the Morses.
I read all about THE lawsuit and I still can't figure out why they were sued. It sounds implausible that they were sued for not maintaining properties here and for improper use of amenity fees and the folks who brought suit tried to get that case heard in other venues until they ended up where they were. We know how it ended and who got what.
Then the case of the Morses and the charges levied at them for shooting wildlife on their ranch in the west somewhere and leaving it to rot on the ground. I never even knew there were laws like that. I guess that because of their great wealth they paid someone off and those charges were reduced or something?? I never could figure that out, I don't hunt and know nothing about hunting laws and when I heard they were charged with breaking of any law, even one I didn't know about or understand I was really upset. Laws are not to be broken. They either didn't do what they were alleged to do or had good lawyers I guess because they aren't in jail.
Then the Morses removed their previous invitation to the Relay for Life to continue to have it at the high school after they asked the American Cancer Society to "kick in" directly for the Moffitt center and they refused. Not popular at all. There were slings and arrows shot by both sides...I always wondered what was the real back story. Someday we will know when someone writes a tell all book about this place.
They may all be a bunch of greedy and corrupt people, but what if they are decent, hard working and nice people or does being rich and conservative disqualify them for that? The truth is that they are probably somewhere in between, just like the rest of us. Pre judging people on the basis of anything is ugly. I do it, everyone does it. But we shouldn't.
I am going to work on finding bad in them and worrying more.
