PA does not suck, thank you very much. It is a state rich in History and full of good people.
That being said I rthink Ed Rendell is a truly horribe person and has been a historically poor governor and a historically great liar and manipulator.
I live in PA{ Pittsburgh to be exact} and I can say just about everthing sucks.
Examples. The roads. The roads here have been rated the worst by truckdrivers almost every year. I have been in other states and thier roads are good, but here they are awful. PENNDOT says it is because of the weather. Like it dont snow anywhere in the USA.
The State Stores. Until recently you could not buy booze on Sundays. And then they are open noon to five. Cant go anywhere else to buy it, so they can charge whatever they like.
And while we are talking about acachol, you can only buy beer at either beer distribors or bars{ only six packs there}. Why cant you go to the supermarket and buy a six pack like almost every other state? Who knows?
The bloated government. More politicians per person than any state. And most are corrupt.
The people here are great, and there is a lot of history. But it could be so much better.
The first step is admitting you have a problem...
Evidently PA voters has a desire to send socialists to all levels of government. Therfore, that would lead people to assume that the majority of voters in PA are themselves socialist.
If Socialist = suck and PA = socialist then, logically, PA = suck.
For PA to no longer equal suck they have to change part of the equation. Either Socialist has to equal something other than suck (which cannot happen because socialism shares a quantum state with suck) , OR PA needs to equal something other than Socialist. The science isnt done on whether or not its possible for PA to equal something other than suck for any length of time. It seems that even if PA does momentarily change states to non-suck it is quickly pulled back to suck by some (as yet undetermined) force.
In conclusion... While it is true that PA does, in fact, suck in its current state. It is possible for PA to enter a state of not-suck at some undetermined time in the future. but based on past measurements and observations it is expected that if PA does shift to not-suck, that the shift will be momentary and quickly be pulled to its natural state of suck.
