It's incredibly helpful. Blogs often espouse opinions that have nothing to do with how people who are actually involved in something might really be feeling. I know I've slipped into that from time to time, I'm sure. Thanks for the “on the ground” reflections, Lynda. It’s incredibly helpful.

FL Jewish folks have been pretty horrified by these characterizations. And, yes, there was a huge uproar about teaching Hebrew in charter schools with tax money. There was also a huge uproar when Jeb Bush wanted to give vouchers to parents who would prefer to send their children to religious schools. Don't know how I feel about the Hebrew question - if it's taught as a language elective along with French, Spanish, Italian I guess that would be okay. The whole Church and State question came up again with state legislators tackling the Intelligent Design question again. (Personally, I don't mind that being addressed as a question of philosophy, but it's hard to see it as science). Florida's election will come down to many things imcluding Century Village, and all of the other retirement communities of So. Fla. Another huge question will be the blue dog cultural conservative vote in the Panhandle. All in all, it should be interesting. Dear Jill, Many So.
