Life's so good

“Life’s so good” is replacing “Stay a little longer” as Wisconsin’s state motto. Apparently no one has read Nate Loizeaux’s ‘blog. While I can appreciate the sentiment behind the change in motto, since I have a possibly unhealthy love of my home state, all I can think of, when hearing the new motto, is the crime and violence here. I think of Joe Clark, Bennie Frier, and Jeff Roy (all of whom I knew personally). I think of the Poynette teen who tried to kill his family with rat poison recently, the arson and murder trial currently going on four blocks from my house, the two teens who stabbed a man to death, the teen who beat a man to death because it was rumored the man had AIDS, and of course Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gien.

Life here is good, but only as good as being known for death can be.
