This being a family site and all, do not use bad language when referring to MAssholes. Many of them are serious environmentalists. That means they got a nice house in the woods, but don't want you to have one. But they want a paved road to their door, but no farther. They want daily garbage collection and want you to recycle. They often use the word "Pristine." They work for state government, recruited after "nation-wide" searches by the Baldacci people. They make 5 times as much money as you do. It is difficult to identify to which sex ...exactly ... they belong to. "Gender-Neutral," I think they call it.
You are also quite wrong to say they despise the natives. Some of them are willing to pay as high as $7/hr for a real Maine man to keep their place going for them, their stuff working, and the wood pile topped up. If you do not want to hob-nob with liberals from away, stay 50 miles west of the beach and 100 miles north of South Portland.
I always love meeting these fools here in Boston at a trade show, bar, etc. They come on strong with some lame “ I'm from Maine “ nonsense. I never let on that I grew up in the state. Asking them which high school in Maine they attended always results with a blank stare and silence. Finally you learn their HS was somewhere in Brooklyn or some other place. You can not imagine how much I despise these people. The sneering, smug attitude from these people is enough to push someone over the edge.
Maine will be the place to watch with the Tea Party backed GOP firmly I'm control. Am looking forward to it.
