The people here have been friendly and welcoming.
My heart is so saddened and wounded for the fear and horrifing thoughts this can scar a city with.

Yes, there are probably exceptions to the rule, but they are very few and far between. And probably keeping themselves well hidden.

Crazy is definitely a requirement for election to political office here; that's one reason why I have never voted here, and never will.
