[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1081849, member: 69799"] From a Southerner's perspective, life in Washington State is very different than life in the South. My grandfather lived in Kelso, Washington for 50 years. Made his living as a carpenter and fisherman. He always used firewood to heat his house. He quit using his fireplace since his home owner's insurance company quit insuring houses that use fireplaces. The salesman said it wasn't due high claims from house fires, but all of the complaints his company got from environmental groups about the effect of chimney smoke on global warming. He moved in with my aunt in Bellingham 3 years ago. On a visit to see him, I went to the local Wal-Mart. There is a city/county ordinance against plastic bags, so I had to buy paper bags. The city has also determined that certain laundry detergents are so harmful to the local water supply that all laundry detergents have to be certified as eco-friendly in order to be sold in Bellingham. I could go on but... The timber industry is responsible for a lot of the development in Washington State. Timber money built towns, paid for school, roads, etc. I was pretty shocked at the anti-logging thinking that permeates that area. And to top it all off, they don't know how to make sweet tea! I call South Carolina home for now. The state education system isn't the greatest and the rest of the country thinks we are hicks, but land is cheap, we have one of the longest deer hunting seasons in the country, and we have a VERY supportive attitude towards our 2nd Amendment.
