Yeah, and you would know best.
I'm not sure how many states you've lived in have any bearing on this subject. A Charin with a camper might easily surpass you there. Were you living in a camper in all of those states?
And the "arbitrary line" you mention is far from such. Register your shasta camper on the north side of said line and try voting on the south side of same.
No, I didn't live in a camper, but I did have a buddy who did live in one. He was born and raised in South Carolina and lived there his whole life. Furthermore, I say the person who lived in a state and then outside of the state has a much better understanding of what (if anything) is unique about the state in question. The person who has never experienced anything other than the street they grew up on has no idea how fuckin clueless they are.
I wasn't talking about "visiting" or else I would have included the countries outside of the U.S.A as well as the states inside the U.S.A. I was talking about permanent addresses. I lived in South Carolina for more than 5 years. I was engaged to a girl who was the daughter of a local sheriff not too far from Charleston, and I broke bread, drank beers and steamed oysters with local bums, strippers, mayors, state representatives, and law enforcement officers all over the state. Sorry to burst your bubble. Let's see some more rationalizations to allow yourself to believe I don't know what I'm talking about, hmmm?
