Interesting. I really don't feel any less free in NJ than in most other states that have at least a million people. The peopleless states like Montana or Wyoming are another story, but what do you expect from states with more land than people? You have to be realistic.

Florida and Texas are bigger than Jersey and have more personal freedom. But you can't get a fried hot dog in Florida and the only hills in Florida are garbage dumps.

The trampling of the rights of the people, mostly through the illegal restrictions on our second amendment rights, is the travesty that is the most troubling. But it doesn't end there. There is the whole socialist mind set that tells me how much I can rent an apartment to someone for ala NYC's rent control laws, and the burgeoning welfare state mentality here that picks my pocket on a regular basis.

Yes states like Idaho, Wyoming and Montana are low population centers that have preserved our basic freedoms, but so have populous states like Florida, Arizona and much of the Southeast. I am realistic about protection of our constitutional rights, and adamant that the Dems and RINO's that run the blue states abide by the constitution and restore our liberties.
