How can ANYONE live there? Geez.
Because the people who live there WANT to feel the jackboot on their necks - forever. It makes them feel safe. What's more they want YOU to be ruled by a tyranny too they fear freedom. It makes them feel safe if you and I are in chains too. And to think Sam Adams came from MA
Quite some time ago I was in Lexington for patriots day. there was a vendor selling little die cast (or maybe plastic - I don't remember) toy muskets. Some kid (6,7,8 not sure) wanted to buy one. Not only did his mother jump all over him, but lit into the vendor for selling guns. Something to the effect of how dare he endanger children, there ought to be a law against it, etc. Typical masshole. I try not to think uncharitable thoughts, but that time I was kind of hoping that some guy would break into her gun free house and rape her.
