Two good Letters to the Editor in today's Miami Herald

There were a couple Letters to the Editor from today's Miami Herald that I think I worth a mention.

Nancy Erdvig from Pembroke Pines suggests that South Florida secede from the rest of Florida and become the 51st state. It is apparent by their actions that the legislature is not looking out for South Florida. I agree with her. They only seem to look out for North Florida, while South Florida continues getting the short end of the stick. They continually pass or veto bills that affect South Florida in a negative way. I say we secede and invite Orlando and Tampa to come with us. Maybe we invite Daytona too. That pretty much means that all of the huge tax bases of the State would now belong to us! After Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Orlando - are there any other cities or counties that generate as much in tax revenue as us?

The second letter was from Rolf H. Parta from Pembroke Pines. His letter is in reference to politicians promoting democracy around the world and forcing it on other nations like it's a one size fits all solution. He says, "a democracy's purpose is to impose the majority's political will on the minority." In a way, I agree. However, our forefathers left Europe looking to escape the religious persecution they were facing. Fast forward and "All men are created equal."

Unfortunately this is not true. This country is being run by the Christian Right. They are forcing their views, their opinions, and what they see as being correct down everyone's throat. And our idiot politicians are allowing them. We live in a blue state so why is our Governor Jeb Bush running this as a red state? He is being pressured or lobbied by the Christian Right (or is it the Christian Reicht?). Or he is doing it out of spite because he knows that the only reason the entire state is Blue is because South Floridians voted that way.
