MOUNTAIN KINGDOM WELCOMES MOUNTAIN-LOVERS!

Swaziland is a land of beautiful mountains! We found beautiful people there too. Now remember, this is the country rated at the bottom of the index created by that British think tank...right down there next to the lowest of the low, Zimbabwe. There must be a mistake. Listen, I'm from Flint, Michigan and when I heard about Swaziland and Zimbabwe listed as bottom-feeders, I became restless...

A few years back MONEY Magazine created their own "index" of best/worst U.S. cities and good old Flint came in dead last (as the worst city in America). I think we were number 2-seventy-something out of all the small cities rated. The magazine's rating of Flint is largely responsible for unleashing none other than Michael Moore and his first celluloid effort, ROGER&ME. Mike featured the burning of MONEY Magazine on a bridge crossing the Flint River. And if you look closely you'll see me (much younger and thinner in 1987!), standing on that same bridge. Anyway, Swaziland is getting a bad rap...just like Flint has received over the years!
