Nice to hear there are some smart people in Florida. We generally only hear the worst of them in the media, but I'm sure they're not all bad.

Florida actually has quite a good university system, reasonably low tuition, and pays for most of students tuition fees if they show academic competence in high school.

And then a lot of those intelligent university students go on to do great things in their lives.... like leave Florida
