Why does YOUR state suck?
« on: April 03, 2011, 12:18:23 PM »
We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

Cheer up.  At least you don't live in Washington.

Or Indiana. I would hate to be known as the "least green" state.

And what do they mean with Idaho? Government not big and obtrusive enough?

We've got a LOT worse problems in Minnesota besides tornadoes.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I've never associated Minnesota with tornadoes, and I don't think anyone else has either. It might be in the northern part of Tornado Alley, but when you think of tornadoes you think Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska.

And Oregon, homeless population? That must be in the eastern part of Oregon where the dumb inbred conservatives live. There's no way the progressive utopia of Portland has any social misfortunes at all.

I live in the Arson state.  Since my house isn't on fire at the moment, I suppose I should consider myself lucky.

California, pollution? Yeah, the crap that comes out the politicians mouths.
Arizona, drunken Indians. _can I say that?
Nebraska, violence to females? How do they know, nobody lives in Nebraska.

Somebody has way too much time on their hands.

Is there a correlation between N Dakota (ugliest residences)
                                         S dakota (rape)
                                          Nebraska ( violence on females)???????


Seems the chit is running downhill.
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

With very few exceptions, the worst thing one could attach to any given state is one - but often two - United States Senators.

Think Boxer/Feinstein, Klobuchar/Franken, Murray/Cantwell, Shumer/Gillibrand, Grassley/Harkin, Leahy/Sanders, Snowe/Collins, Hutchison/Cornyn.... Those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are other gruesome-twosomes that didn't pop to the front of my mind. Then take all the states with one piece of sh*t senator....

It's as if you couldn't find a deeper, broader cesspool of mediocrity. It's the greatest collection of character deficit outside a penitentiary. The US Senate is the depository of Peter Principle politicians, and because of the people attracted to the office, the body makes the United States worse.

What a bunch of cookie-cutter claptrap!  The worst example of "lies, damn lies and statistics" yet!  We all could come up with a completely different mix for every state!

There are a lot more factual reasons why any area may suck, but this attempt to identify root causes missed the target by several miles!
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
