Well HORSES**T... that just ain't so. What's good for NYC is anathema for and/or in the rest of America. And that's a fact, jack.

Growing up on the SW Side of Chicago in the 50's and 60's, there were three basic things we were taught to 'hate' (dislike, detest, loathe, etc.).

the New York Yankees

New York City

the Cubs

However now in my older years my animus towards the Cubs has wained. If they win I'm happy for them, but I still say screw you to NYC - and Rudy with his NYC know-it-all arrogant, attitude. Furthermore, Rudy was never 'my Mayor' - period, end, stop.

~~ NYC rant OFF ~~

Now I think you can understand how the rest of the world feels about the USA.

Now I think you can understand how the rest of the world feels about the USA.

Now that is a perfect example of how New York liberals think.

Your ugly overcrowded city is more representative of many of the worlds ratholes then it is of the biggest portion of American cities. In the South we don't give much of a damn what the rest of the world(ala the UN)think about us. The only thing we might give less of a damn about is what New Yorkers think...about anything.
