not necessarily true...i grew up in Hawaii (public edumacation FTW) and it really depends on what area you're in.

Everyday they did something to me.

Once again, really depends on where you are...I had lots of "haole" friends in school, and they didn't get their butts whipped on fridays.

we thought about charleston/savannah. also central florida is an option, mainly the gainesville area.

You might want to rethink Gainesville. I don't think it's a great place for those not in the University...It will get old quick.

we are leaning towards austin/san antonio/corpus christi. there are a lot of RT jobs in those areas, the cost of living is good and real estate is reasonable.

Real anti-handgun there from all i've read. Tis' a Democratic bastion, so that almost goes without saying i guess.
