I don’t know if it’s a problrm in this country today, or if it’s a general problem where you can be assured of the existence of a certain number of arrogant jerks. Whatever the case, we are being plagued by people who just can’t seem to get through the day without interfering with someone else’s life. We’ve got too many people who find it easy to sit back and think, “people shouldn’t be able to do that,” or “people should be made to do that,” and apparently no shortage of opportunistic parasites willing to accommodate them.
It’s apparrently very easy for these people. It’s also apparently very safe for them, too. It’s safe because no one makes arrogant people pay for being arrogant.
Maybe we need a group of brave people dedicated toward increasing the cost of arrogance. Whenever someone thinks someone died and made him God, and starts making other people’s lives hell, maybe that person needs some negative reinforcement.
Maybe someone keys his car. Maybe he finds his lawn dying. Or maybe, if it’s warranted, someone kicks him in the n*ts out of the blue. Maybe people who think their **** doesn’t stink need to be made to learn that if they ‘eff with the world, the world will ‘eff with them.

Well now there is an oxymoron - Vacation and Toledo in the same sentence.

So the “Live Free or Die” state of New Hampshire didn’t make the top ten for personal freedom?

Sex shops and drugs are weighted too heavily, and taxes are not weighted enough... Not exactly -- BOTH states are quite Prohibitionist when it comes to recreational drugs. Neither one has had sense enough to decriminalize, let alone re-legalize. But my hopes are high that they will reverse course over the next few years.

I do not understand why Georgia is in the top 10 for worst states. I feel I have as much freedom here as any state I have ever lived in. Except for the bible thumpers who prevent me from buying beer on Sunday I think we have it pretty good here.

Basically I disagree with their rating system for placement of categories in the major fields. I live in Nevada. They rate Nevada down at like 14 overall. I think Nevada is one of that last states where you are free to mess yourself up or excel at your will. Part of it is they rate - for example homeschool as a high priority - I do not care about homeschooling. Tax policy. Nevada has no personal income taxes - that in my book automatically puts it in the top ten.
