I was re-reading this post and I think I came off as a little too harsh. I have toned it down a bit, and I do apoligize to Israel for my rude comments. I would have deleted this post, but I didn't want to lose all the comments from the other bloggers.

Israel,

Wasn't your OWN father a republican? Why would you say that you want republican people to be shot in the face? Once again, I have to ask, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??

I am a republican, My Mom, Dad, Brothers, Sisters and Most of my Friends are republicans, and need I mention my Husband...YOUR OWN BROTHER is a republican. You might want to consider your audience before airing your bitter diatribe about republicans on this blog.

I have used this blog to complain about the great state of Arizona, but those negative comments have not actually been directed towards the people of Arizona! (Except the big guy on his front porch in the recliner, when I talk about him, I guess I AM complaining about the people of Arizona, who sit on a recliner on the front porch.) The only people we have really spent any time with is Danny and Joanna, and I would be hard pressed to come up with something negative about them, they are both very sweet people and Christ really shines through them. Plus, Danny cracks me up (and kinda freaks me out) because he reminds me so much of Zion, so I have really loved getting to know them both a little bit better!!

You told me that this IS my home and I need to get used to it, well, that is not entirely the case. Tucson is now my home, that part is correct, because this is where my husband is now, but THIS house will NEVER be my HOME. (I can't see myself ever getting so attatched to a prison that I would think of it as a 'home', and that is what this place feels like to me,) because I am scared to leave the house without Zion or Jariah with me. I have always been pretty independent and proud to be, before I moved here. I had my own job, I had my own car, I had my own friends, I had my own life and I wasn't afraid to go out and live it. I know bad things can happen anywhere, but aren't bad things more likely to happen in a crack den than in a candy store?? This house and neighborhood is a much lower standard of living then I have ever had to deal with and I really can't stand it! Our old house might have had wheels, but we had it all fixed up and it was actually kind of cute, and not at all scary like this neighborhood... that YOU admitted before was a pit!!! Even though we have fixed up the interior of this house here on Castro, we are scared to go outside so to me this house is like a prison sentence because I am stuck here and it really stinks!! (Prison might not actually be so bad, at least they have air-conditioning...)

One more thing about the 'Hood', telling us that THIS Street is fine, but ½ block away is a real bad neighborhood, doesn't make much sense to me. People can walk ½ block pretty fast, and they can drive it even faster. If ½ block away isn't safe, then it's not safe here, either.
