The fact that Arizona is one of America's fastest growing states is mind boggling. It is a desert hellhole filled with snakes, scorpions, and Tea Party nuts like Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, not to mention the hellish hot weather. I would easily choose Denmark over Arizona.
Response time. It bothers me when people say Arizona is a desert because that is a gross generalization. It's got arid areas, but it also has green valleys (Prescott) and alpine areas (Flagstaff).
The reason that it is one of America's fastest growing states is because of the new job opportunities and the existence of air conditioning helps. There aren't very many snakes, scorpions, and spiders because we chased them out of the metropolitan areas. Hell, there aren't even that many out in the wild.
While we have Tea Party types like Joe Arpaio and Jan Brewer, you can find a lot of liberals in Tucson and the smaller cities. It's not hard to find liberals in the Phoenix area (my hometown).
