As a New Yorker....I am totally disgusted with these people.

<<<<>>>> I was raised New Yorker -- Upstate in Oswego --- not the City. The values and perceptions are all different from the City. New York State is not in my retirement plan in 17 months. The self absorbed, ungrateful City people are a stain on the State. I am sorry that you are surrounded by the City degenerates and wish you well for your future!

As another New Yorker . . . I second that.

I lived in New York City for many years and go back for visits a few times a year. I love the ambiance of the city and the wonderful job Giuliani did in bringing the city back from the abyss of social chaos. I don't understand why sophistication and culture can not go hand and hand with conservative values.

You can be having the most wonderful conversation with some one. The topic switches to politics and suddenly you find yourself talking with someone quite mad and disconnected. On politics, these self-anointed 'sophisticates' are the most narrowed-minded people on the planet. How stupid can you be to live in the city where 9/11 happened and vote for Kerry? Think about it. These people are dumb as rocks when it comes to political smarts.
