#1 the Sunshine and Garden States were winners

This is the writers opinion not necesssarily the opinion of Sunshine and Garden Staters.

But I'm happy they didn't choose TN.

#2 Me, too, BrerRabbit. Escape From New York was a bad movie. I hope the reality is better.

#4 So long as when these elitist coasties land, they put to use that whole understand foreign cultures mindset and become like the locals. I'd hate to spill the beans but we do have great sushi out here: Rocky Mountain Oysters, fresh and uncooked, ripe for your eclectic palattes.

#5 They flee to Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maryland...

Where they start the whole process of stupidization all over again.

#6 Their property values are upside down and they can't afford to move anymore.
We see that out here in Greensburg. Property value there has quadrupled because greensburg is now "Greensburg!". Sounds great? Taxes are rediculous, so much so that people cannot afford to live there even with what would be considered a top third income level job, but cannot sell because nobody can afford to move there.

It is the green liberal social engineering project handed to them on a golden platter, and is steroid injected test tube baby gone spider man villian bad. Seriously, people should do a study on it. Why does some shitkicker flyover town matter to the real US city dwellers? Well its that attitude which is one aspect of the problem, but to continue it is because what has been done with Greensburg is what the plan is for the whole of the United States via EPA. It is happening right now with the house tax credits, artificially inflating land value until the end of the year to justify property value taxes. It is happening right now with the stifling of traditional energy sources in favor of wind and solar, basically arguing that the two in the bush is better than the one in your hand. If they do you a favor and answer your question about how far away the bush is they tell you its 42.

People need to be asking before we give up the meal in our hand for the two in the bush is 42 what? Inches? Yards? Miles? How far will I have to go to get my two meals in the bush and will it still be there when I arrive? If you don't ask that question and get the answer, you will end up walking over the horizon for pie in the sky while they stay where you two met, chuckling to themselves while eating the meal you voluntarily gave up, muttering "Stupid country rubes."

No need to start in Maryland - it's already there. Dunno about Conn & NH.
