New York City has to be cut off from the rest of the State. New York is becoming like some 3rd world, corrupt, socialist hell-hole, with a teeming megalopolis calling the shots, while the peasants outside becoming poorer and poorer.
I remember my Mom & Dad saying that when I was a kid growing up in Ithaca and outside Syracuse...and that was the late 50s and early 60s.
I'm sure it will happen this time. Snick.
