The Globe can't seem to understand the real reason is the brutal tax system in New England. Connect the dots.

That's part of it, but it goes much deeper. I made the mistake of taking a job in Boston after I graduated (youthful indiscretion, thinking the career-related prestige would be worth it). I'm leaving soon. While taxes are an annoyance, the real reason I'm leaving is the oppressive philosophy here. Women "joke" about how men are stupid, annoying, and should be the ones to have to have babies. Schools teach first graders about gay sex. People live together for years before getting married, if they do at all, and mock "old-fashioned" ideals. Homosexuality is celebrated. Just a couple days ago I had to walk by Boston Common, and there was a gay and anti-war rally. That is almost a daily event here. Weirdos exist in all parts of the world, but here the difference is that it pervades society. Weirdos are normal here. The taxes are annoying but I'm leaving because I have come to the conclusion that it is immoral for me to stay here, which would implicitly support them economically. I would pay higher taxes elsewhere to not support that.

But the Red Sox are a lot of fun. Sunset Grille is awesome too.

Weirdos are normal here.

No it's not. And your hyperbole is quite silly.

Get out of the damn city if you don't like what you see there, my friend. The city of Boston < > all of New England.
