Minnesota, MN
Minnesota is a great state -
4/23/2007I was just recently in the state of Minnesota for medical help at the Mayo clinic. I flew into Minneapolis and drove down to Rochester. I have to say that Minnesota was the cleanest, nicest state I've ever seen. The people I met and talked to, who were natives, which were many, were the friendliest, happiest folks I've ever met. I've lived in 5 different states over my 48 years and find the people in Minnesota to be the most progressive I've ever met. You should take great pride in yourselves and your state. I'm sure you're state has had it's growing pains and problems, but believe me, you live in a real gem of a place. I know the weather isn't great but believe me, weather isn't always the only factor when it comes to liveability. I live where the sun shines more than 200 days per year and with it comes too many other negatives, too many people who don't care about where they live, crime, grafitti, pollution etc. etc. I'd take what you have in Minnesota over "sunshine" anyday!

Bob, you need to go back to school, Puerto Ricans are American citizens and have been since the end of the Spanish American war. Therefore, you cannot include Puerto Ricans as "illegal immigrants". Get a clue!

Not a nice place -
1/26/2006My family and I recently went to Vegas and I was shocked at the attitude of the people there. They will run right over you in a cross walk, even when they have the red light. We were nearly mowed down several times just walking from our hotel to check out a few restaurants. I've been in Vegas before but it just seems to really be going down hill fast! It's definitely no place for families. Maybe if you're young and single, but it really deserves it nick-name "sin city" and I don't just mean for the gambling and other stuff that goes on there. I mean for the lack of concern for common human decency among MANY (not all of course) of the people there. Perhaps these examples were people who don't live there and were just concerned with getting their gambling fix?!
