I retired to a very small NH town, people no longer bother me, they might if I didn't pay my government rent.
Yankees -- the Hurons and Narragansetts learned to hate them, Virginians and Carolinians learned to hate them. Now it's everyone else's turn. Even their cousins are like that back in Norfolk, England -- dour and pushy and judgmental and officious.
Someday my wise prescription will leak out from FR to the rest of the Union, and the People of the United States will kick New England out of the Union -- and downstate New York and Longgk Guyland right behind them ('cept for Staten Island).
Give 'em the heave, and see how much better the rest of America becomes overnight. I promise, it'll be like opening a window and turning off a noisy commercial.
