This seems to be a recurring question on the Forum, most recently raised on the Dead Bear/trash/Bob House / dumb tourist thread.. I believe I am in a unique position to finally settle the question of who really belongs here (or there). My credentials are living in Miami most of my adult life and in NH/FL 45:55 for the last 6 years. I also have relatives and loved ones (some both) in Massachusetts. This also makes me very aware of the risks of living in a (shudder) “tourist area” which has undergone radical lifestyle changes (real and perceived) in the recent past ( recent meaning for the last fifty years), but still depends on the tourist dollar. Please note that I am using Native to mean white folk who have killed off the real natives, Seminoles, Abenaki, etc. As the internet is notorious for not conveying tongue- in- cheek humor, the following is meant only in the nicest way. I am also adding Smiley faces to prove that I am (mostly) kidding.

This is a multiple choice test. The answers are below.

1. I am so happy that tourist season is over and all the idiots from
A. Florida, MA
B. New York, Quebec, NH
C.All of the above

are finally going back where they belong (with their wallets)

2. Drivers with license plates from
A. Florida, MA
B. New York, Quebec, NH
C. All of the above
can be depended upon to be rude and ignorant.

3. If only they would go back to where they came from, that is
A. MA
B. Cuba or any other Spanish speaking country
C. Anywhere but here
then everything wrong with our hometown would be magically better (well, maybe not economically)

4. I will defend my right to kill
A. Bears
B. Alligators, intruders, Burmese pythons
in any residential area to which they are lured, at any time.

5. The “newcomers,” (those arriving in the past 50 years) to the southern part of the state of
A.NH
B. FL
are the cause of political degradation, pollution, global warming and the general erosion of family values as well as boating speed limits, reality TV, and the Simpsons.

ANSWERS: (you must get all right to win..no partial credit.)

TRUE NATIVE OF NH: A, A, A or C,A ,A
TRUE NATIVE OF FLORIDA: B,B,B,B,B
TRUE AMERICAN: NONE OF THE ABOVE.

I hope I have not offended anybody (here come the Smileys)
