The State of Our State

I recently listed The state of Florida on E-Bay, condition was listed as 'Worn Out' and the item description as follows:

 "A golden opportunity to own The Sunshine State, the land is ideally situated in the sub-tropics and consists of 66,000 square miles of land with 1,300 miles of beachfront.

It generates a positive cash flow for the owners, currently occupied by 18,000,000 most of whom pay rent or ‘tax’ additional income is generated from the 85,000,000 annual visitors.

The current owners, they reside in Tallahassee, have embarked on a series of programs guaranteed to continue to generate personal wealth for the future owners – Though it is suggested that absentee ownership is the best course, as when these programs of uncontrolled development, reduction in the quality of education, elimination of environmental controls and monopolization of the utilities will result in a significant reduction in the local quality of life.

It should also be pointed out that there is considerable debt to be paid to Utility Companies, Property Developers and Insurance Companies, the terms are easy, all debt will be repaid by the 18,000,000 residents, the owners are off the hook.

The current owners have agreed to stay as long as required to manage the state - for a reasonable fee and regular steak dinners.

The property is being sold as is, where is.

Happy Bidding!"

Well after being on E-Bay for 10 days, it sold - for the Princely sum of $0.99, if that isn't a sad commentary on the state of our State I don't know what is.

I'm depressed...........
