Dear Rest of the Country: Michigan is NOT your doormat.
Michigan is a mitten. You put your hand in a mitten.

Stop wiping your feet on our beautiful state.

Thank you.

4. Are you referring to garbage or hazardous waste?

I thought NJ and SC respectively had those dubious distinctions.

3. Amen!
And, note to the Southwest; no, you may NOT have our water. You want to live in the desert, that's your problem.

AA, just how much of Michigan have you seen? Been to Leelenau, Harbor Springs, Traverse City area, Mackinac Island, Pictured Rocks, Ludington, Manistee, Port Austin, St. Joseph, Allegan County, Au Sable River, Houghton Lake, Torch Lake, Mullet Lake, Charlevoix, Marquette, Copper Harbor, Houghton, Escanaba, Taquamenon Falls, Soo Locks, Saugatuck, Porcupine Mountains.....etc, etc? Or do you base your armpit designation simply on industrial SE Michigan?

34. As a native Detroiter....
who now lives in MN, I'm pretty passionate about the water issue.

I'll be the first one in front of the bulldozers when Westerners decide that they are entitled to waste our water on their golf courses and swimming pools. (And destroy our fragile resource.)

22. On the rare occasion that I pick on MI
it's only because I'm originally from WI. It's a rivalry thing so it's ok.

(It's rare that I pick on ya'll since I lived in the UP for a couple of years.)
