But at least half the citizens I met seemed pretty bright.

Happy that you posted your thoughts about people from Boston. I had an aunt (mom's brother married a gal from Boston) that was certifiably insane. I worked with a guy from Boston and he was a nut case. Didn't know if it was the beans, water or whatever. Hopefully those 2 people just gave me a wrong impression of the people in Boston as a whole.

Hey I resent that. Only 97% of us are insane.

I lived in Shrewsbury which was predominantly Republican then. The western half of Massachusetts, roughly speaking about 40 percent of the state population, leans Republican. When Dukakis ran for president 40 percent still voted for GHW Bush.
