"New Yorkiness" Har! I know what you mean. New Yorkers are like heart surgeons. We need them very much, but prefer them to work with other folks far away from us. Without New Yorkers, this country would not have advanced so far, and without New Yorkers, it would not have fallen so far. Sometimes I want to cheer for them, sometimes I want to strangle them, but I never want to live near them - chuckle. All joking aside, Donald Trump is one New Yorker that I am glad is fighting on our side. At present, he is single handedly whipping the entire socialist establishment and their mainstream media enablers. Who was the last person to do that? It wasn't the "Bushies" or the current crop of hand picked Repo wussies.

Yes, New Yorkers are a hard bunch to take. I like to remind people that despite their overwhelmingly stupid political views (which date at least as far back as their Copperhead tendancies during the Civil War), they lined up in the droves to give blood on 9/11 - only to find out that it was completely unneeded. Everyone was dead. Many risked death by volunteering to work on that damned hellacious site after the fall of the buildings. One liberal friend that I have is now suffering serious health problems because of his volunteerism.
But I completely understand where you are coming from. I am a born and bred New Yorker and even I don’t understand them.
