Hobbe's Law: Bad Money Drives Out The Good
What poor old Hobbes never figured out is that his Law of Economics applies to everything in human affairs. We here in Maine are the quintessential Yankees. We were the fellows who really put down your rebellion in the War Between The States with scant help from Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York, among the other present-day bastions of commie-think. Yet, we too suffer from the influx of Yankee Massholes in particular, who having driven their state to politically correct madness and insolvency, cannot wait to take their inflated state-employee pensions and socialist ideology (see Howie Carr, "The Kiss in the Mail") to Maine, where they promptly instruct the stupider natives in their profligate ways and the class-warfare politics of envy. The once proud Maine schools have degenerated to the point that, I am ashamed to say, our ignorant classes, the people sprung from former well-educated sturdy yeomen of yore, lap it up as if it were lobster bisque. Forgive us. Had we foreseen this tragic result in 1860, perhaps Maine could have become a Confederate Naval Base, or something else helpful to the cause of states' rights.
There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent the better states from requiring rigorous entry exams for would-be immigrants from LibLaLaLands, failure in which would lead to immediate deportation and heavy fines.
What do you mean by that?
Times have changed. While race relations are not perfect, slavery would not happen again.
You got that right.
