I feel you on that. I have a whole host of issues with what my state is doing, especially Brown opening us up to private prisons. I still love my state though.

I don't even follow politics that well. The yogurt thing just caught my eye on the front page of the newspaper a couple mornings ago.

I've just never heard people bashing on New York so much before now. I mean, what I said in the OP was sort of directed at politicians in general. But regarding the debate that has broken out in this very thread... The issues don't seem to be nearly as bad as people are making them out to be. I live here, and I never particularly hated the things going on here.
