Having lived in SEVERAL states, from FL, to Arkansas in the middle, to the hills of TN, to the mountains of CO, then traveled to EVERY state as a trucker for many years.....I can assure you, every state is just slap loaded with ugly and stupid! Their ugly and stupid is just probably a little different than the ugly and stupid in another state. The trick...is to find the ugly and stupid that annoys you the least. LOL
However, as I have picked up and moved cross country myself on a few occasions, by all means, GTFO of Florida if it stresses you out that much. Just, having seen the grass on the other side of the fences, I'm not sure you'll find it much greener anywhere you go.
