Yeah- Boston is real "loserville". Half the modern weapon systems being used in Iraq were designed by the "losers" at dozens of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the world in this state. Nonsense.The "losers" in Massachusetts have higher incomes and more education than nearly the entire nation. Higher incomes, and higher costs of living. The quality of life isn't higher, and that's all that really matters. More education? How do you figure?The Massachusetts state Democrats in the local state house and state senate are the most conservative in the country and many are pro life Catholics.Absolute nonsense. I mean, absolute and complete bullsh-t. There hasn't been a Democrat governor in Mass for 16 years. LOL. A "Republican" governor of Massachusetts would be run out of most places in the South, unless it was a predominantly black area. Now if we could shake our disgusting congressman and senators we could lose that dumb "liberal" smear. Why don't you check out the results of Presidential votes in Massachusetts? The best part about Massachusetts and the arrogant people (what you posted above is a good example of this) who reside there is that the "center of the world" is becoming more and more irrelevant with every passing day. Thank goodness. Go Sox.

Hate to burst yor bubble- But this City is making a huge comeback. Been here recently? The Dowtown is great. The big dig is nearly complete (I know- it was a federal boondoggle that on principle I was against)- but it looks good! The formally ugly waterfront of Boston is going to look great. Look to Finneran. President of the Senate. A good Irish Catholic who is still officially "pro life" as are most other pols of Irish or Italian extraction. But in reality- I have to agree it matters little and is token only. Up until last year this state still had blue laws- no liquor sales on Sundays (and most towns still maintain them- though not Boston any longer.) Our bars close at 1:30- most close at 1:00. Boston doesn't even have a "Red zone". I think there is one "strip" bar left in Boston and that is not even full nudity. No porn shops.

The poltics of Massachusetts is complicated (Irish - Yankee relations are still a major factor in some ways). Culturally this is a very conservative and some say "prudish" town and state.

Go Sox.
