Your post #15 was very interesting. You clearly outline why Maryland is as it is. But then you go on to state that all these developments are driving the state into the ground (actually, sir, it's been that way for a long time; I lived in the Washington area from 1967 to 1997 and all I can remember about your state is Democrats and their graft and corruption). Nothing has changed or is likely to ever change.

It seems to me that you and other decent people should emigrate to states where you can enjoy the benefits of their laws (i.e., lower taxes, fewer regulations, concealed carry laws that actually allow you to carry, and the such) and help out with the voting. Virginia and North Carolina, traditional Republican conservative states, are both under siege from Yankee liberals who have moved in. In Virginia it's the infestation in Northern Virginia (that got that state Sen. Webb in the last election) and in North Carolina it's the Triangle.

In other words, give up on a state that can't be turned around and help states that are in danger and which can be turned around.

Possum you are right. Maryland has been split for many , many years. Even before the Civil War,when those of us in the Southern part of the State were for the South and those in the North were for the North. Still it is my home. I am not one of those who came into Md. to hide from DC.

My family has been here since the 1600’s. I am a native Marylander who loves his State despite its faults and I aint runnin, I am a-fightin.
