David,
I loved your original post. Your description of Indiana was really great. I have been to southern Indiana in New Albany and Jeffersonville just across the river from Louisville. I also have many relatives and friends all across Indiana. From the far north near the Michigan state line to Zionsville which is a suburb of Indianapolis on to southern Indiana.
I am from Kentucky and like you I spent one year in Florida but it was in Miami, Florida and other than that I have lived in Kentucky all of my life. Kentucky is a lot like Indiana in outlook and is definitely a "red" state like Indiana. Kentucky is alright but I would have preferred to live in Florida but due to my job and family it looks like I will be stuck in Kentucky for a long time. So I guess I will just have to make the most of it.

Bucky - I lived in Evansville, Indiana from October 1994 - February 2002 and my house was situated about 2 miles from the Ohio river. I use to go to Henderson, Kentucky all the time. I even shopped at the Wal-Mart in Kentucky because it was closer to my house than the Wal-Marts in Evansville. I also worked for a company in Madisonville, Kentucky for a short time. I am very familiar with Kentucky; especially Western Kentucky. Kentucky is a beautiful state. :)

Yes it is very disturbing. I have never participated in those kinds of things on the Internet, although I certainly don't frown on those who do. But this report serves as a stark reminder that people really do need to be very careful if they are engaging in such activities on the Internet; especially in this day and age. :(

If that's an accurate report...then I have to say that is so sad. Why do people still carry on like this? What could they possibly get out of doing things like this to another human being? Hate crime? How do people that age "Hate" so much? They don't have a clue yet what the big picture is all about!

Geri - Yes it is very sad, and like you I also have a difficult time understanding the big picture... if there even is one. I never could understand how my orientation could make others so angry and violent. But it does. We must remember though that there is many other acts of hate too; hatred of race, religion, nationality, ect. and all of these forms of hate are equally as sad and pathetic as hatred towards gay people.

Andrew. That is weird. I didn't even notice this when I took a look at the blog yesterday. I wonder if it means anything? It is very uncanny, just like you said. :o
