No way is Maine second in line for personal freedom.

I don’t know if it’s a problrm in this country today, or if it’s a general problem where you can be assured of the existence of a certain number of arrogant jerks. Whatever the case, we are being plagued by people who just can’t seem to get through the day without interfering with someone else’s life. We’ve got too many people who find it easy to sit back and think, “people shouldn’t be able to do that,” or “people should be made to do that,” and apparently no shortage of opportunistic parasites willing to accommodate them.

It’s apparrently very easy for these people. It’s also apparently very safe for them, too. It’s safe because no one makes arrogant people pay for being arrogant.

Maybe we need a group of brave people dedicated toward increasing the cost of arrogance. Whenever someone thinks someone died and made him God, and starts making other people’s lives hell, maybe that person needs some negative reinforcement.

Maybe someone keys his car. Maybe he finds his lawn dying. Or maybe, if it’s warranted, someone kicks him in the n*ts out of the blue. Maybe people who think their **** doesn’t stink need to be made to learn that if they ‘eff with the world, the world will ‘eff with them.

MD is #1...big surprise. /s

I’m sure Montgomery Co. has a LOT to do with the rating.

I do not understand why Georgia is in the top 10 for worst states. I feel I have as much freedom here as any state I have ever lived in. Except for the bible thumpers who prevent me from buying beer on Sunday I think we have it pretty good here.

RI doesn’t register firearms,nor require a permit to keep handguns at home or at your business.
They have no prohibited weapons,although it can be difficult to get a concealed carry permit.
I’m not sure why RI is on the list.
They don’t even have a voter ID law,so illegal aliens can vote whenever they want.
It’s sure a weird state.

A month ago, I had the map this data is taken from as my desktop background. I had it side by side the election results by party. Uncanny that the rmore restricted the state, the more liberal they voted.
