Maybe it's me, but I don't get your point.

Hi Folks,
Just to make it clear... this is NOT me.

As for the glass being half full or half empty?
It's half full of Flint Michigan tap water.
Glad to help.

I counted hundreds of cigarette butts in a short distance, along with empty water bottles and smashed pop cans, among other things.

This is disappointing. I have also noticed very unfriendly workers in restaurants. I am wondering if moving here was a bad idea!

I haven't noticed hardly any trash at all. Cleanest place in the USA, cleaner than Disney World.
Who cares if the restaurant workers are rude, haven't seen that here either.
Are you sure you live in the Villages ? My Villages in the one northwest of Orlando and just south of Ocala.

I think filter cigarettes should be banned. Unfiltered cigarettes decompose a lot faster.
