Do You Know Where You Live?
An anonymous submitter writes "Thanks to GPS, it seems quite a few people are discovering they don't live where they thought. Prior to GPS, state, county and city borders were part law, part measurement, and part guesswork. Now, they're able to go back and discover where actual borders should be, and it's making many people unhappy. Some familes in Rhode Island are finding out they may actually live in Connecticut. Each state, county and city wants as much land as possible, because it means more tax income. The people caught in the middle simply want to know where they'll send their kids for school."
This is what I see in my head when I think about this:
A soccer mom driving a large SUV, popping a few more Prozac and Zanax on account of the fact that her fellow soccer mom pals will think less of her now that she officially lives in Conneticut instead of Rhode Island.
Jesus people, is this REALLY that big of an issue?
Q: What do you think about American Culture?
A: I think it's a good idea.
