[who knows what evil?]

You came across as more arrogant than most North Easterners I know and I live here.

So do I, sport...I have lived south and north and west and the people up here are far more arrogant than the south or west...we'll just have to disagree on this one...

Calling me sport make you sound both arrogant and patronizing, are you from MA? I've lived in California, Texas, SC, and Ohio. I'll still take NH. You only have to bring up BBQ or the Civil War to most southerners if you want to see breathtaking arrogance. Chili will usually get you there is Texas. California...well that's simply a lost cause. Ohio? Just talk to an Ohio union guy and he will tell you all about how to fix America, starting by forking over billions of tax dollars to said union.

Everyplace has people with strong opinions about something that pushes the boundries of arrogance. Sure MA is filled with those people, at least those that haven't moved to NYC or CA yet. Just don't confuse MA with the rest of us. Heck, even VT, although it is practically a socialist hippy infested commune, they generally just want to be left alone. ME seems to be taking some steps in becoming more conservative. NH has some of the best guns laws in the country. (along with very low crime, thank you very much arrogant know-it-all doctor).
