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.

New York and California are somewhat reviled in general conversation. Same way people stigmatize the south, which is probably worse in a lot of ways. I would probably do the same thing if I didn't have family from the south and realize what kind of prejudice they face in other parts of the country.
