I've lived here 55 years..central New York..
There's New York; and then there's " The City "..
This is a very secenic, beautiful, area; with mountains and lakes, and rivers; woods; meadows, farms etc..lotsa good folks ..
And then there's " The City "..
We have four distinct seasons...
Then there's " The City " ..
We have Canada above us;
and Pennsylvana below us;
and we have " The City " ..
Because " The City " has such a huge mass of humanity all compressed there; it has a lot of vote power..
Too much vote power by sheer population..
Add to this formula a term " politics " ( we will define this by it's Latin breakdown ) poli = many ; ticks = bloodsucking creatures ..
So we have a situation of many bloodsucking creatures ( politicians ) trying to pass laws to tell the rest of us how to conduct our lives..
I agree with Keith about what he wrote.. Outside of a weatherman or a politician; where else can you not do anything, or be wrong most of the time; and still get paid for it ??
What I think might work is " The City " breaks away from the rest of the country, declares war on the United States; surrenders; and gets all kinds of Federal Aid; just like we do for all the other countries we go to war with..
Then it sets itself up as a new state..
Yippeee .... What a idea !!!
