That's kinda defeatist, get on a campaign, run yourself...it's a good feeling to be part of the process. You feel like you are making a difference - and you are. I don't really think that you hate me, but you too are thinking about leaving the area..It's not a easy thing to do. I came to central Florida for the Sun but also because of the shrinking employment base. That was 20 years ago and, trust me, I'm still home sick many times throughout the year. I love WNY
