[Vision2020] GEORGIA UNVEILS NEW SLOGAN: “WE MAKE FLORIDA LOOK SAFE”

[s.m. ghazanfar]

Yet, Georgia's new laws are more "liberal" than Idaho's......they were 
persuaded to delete the provision that would have allowed guns on state 
higher-ed campuses...
So let's not knock Georgia!!  Where does one find a 'comfort zone' any 
longer?!
All the best...
