You must not be paying attention. We all live in Massachusetts now. Bush may not be much, but at least he's not Gore. Massachusetts isn't all that different from North Carolina these days. Chapel Hill could be Beacon Hill for the all difference between them. (At least in South Carolina quite a few people still sport the Stars and Bars.) New Hampshire has a Democratic Governor and they're going to get an income tax. At least in MA the counter revolution is been waged for the last 20 years, led by Howie Carr and Barbara Anderson.

Individuals in the several states and the world over for that matter aren't all that different, it all depends on the institutions, habits and expectations of the people. Speaking of instititions, in America we have a free press and its pathetically lame. The worst thing about the press isn't its bias, it's its incredible intellectual sterility and conformity. BTW, Canada trumps Massachusetts for polical correctness and goody-two-shoeism of every stripe, but the Globe and Mail is far more stimulating and vibrant than any American newspaper.

oh, i am definitely paying attention. notice, i haven't moved yet. btw, why did you bring up Canada? that would be the LAST place anyone with even an ounce of reasoning who wanted to live in a NON-socialist or communist state would move. There are three 'big' commie states here; Commifornia, Marxachusetts, and New World York. The rest are fast on the path, but have not been nearly as putrified with the 'what's yours is mine' mentality because they haven't been on that route for the length of time we have been. Howie Carr is a voice in the wilderness for us here. While he gives succor, for sure, we are waist-deep in the quagmire of the left-wing agenda here (in contrast to the ankle-depth in other states); those of us who even know how to spell Constitution are understatedly a minority...and an unprotected one at that.
