I left Rhode Island years ago, for one reason. I could no longer stand the absolute corruption. I don't mind living with liberals, but most RIer's cannot even be classified that way. So many people are 1st and 2nd generation and they have the values of the oldtimers, and since RI is small enough to be a city-state, it makes no sense for so much crime and corruption to be tolerated.

From Buddy to Buckles to G Fox to Claus von Bulow, Raymond Patriaca, Wendy Collins, Celona, CVS, Blue Cross, Roger Williams Hospital, Cranston General, the Scott Hornoff trial, the Jerri Ann Richards trial, on and on. That's just off the top of my head.

Rhode Island has one paper, one prison, it takes 45 minutes to cross any which way, Providence is a filthy, dirty cesspit with graffiti declared art because the city's homosexual mayor, Diva Dave Cicilline can't get the 5,000 city workers to clean it up. The homosexuals have taken over PVD. The unions run it. RI is a mindset, an attitude. A very, very bad one.

I miss steamers and NY System, but all the nice things about RI cannot hide the bare criminality of the place.
Is that Rte. 10 paving job done yet? It's been over 15 yrs. now. THAT is what I can't stand. If you are not a crook in RI, well, then your mother/cousin/sister's husband has a good state job and you gotta be loyal. Hence, the 47 dollar per hour crossing guards in Cranston standing on corners where no children cross. People knew that Laffey was the right man for the Senate, but (and I know you will understand!) AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whadda ya gonna do?
