I went to grade school, high school and college in Minnesota. I was commissioned a Second Lieutentant in the Air FOrce. I applied for my Vietnam Bonus and DFL run state denied my bonus. That action cause me to declare my liberation and only rarely do I visit that DFL-rotten state. Anyone dumb enough to live their deserves the high taxes in a falling school system.
I lived in the bluest part of Minneapolis for years, and it was pleasant enough. The property taxes are bruising, but the schools are fine. Good bars, good restaurants, decent nightlife and culture. Not a bad place to live overall.
So, Minnesota, SHUT THE F UP AND TAKE IT. YOU ASKED FOR IT!!
Please refrain from lumping the majority of the state in with the localized metro of Minneapolis/St. Paul. It's frustrating for those of us that actually love this state.
If you're unable to do that, please feel free to segregate yourselves in a corner somewhere and self-fornicate.
