new york

The second worst state in the U. S., after Illinois. (Unlike Illinois, New York didn't require a three-fifths majority of both houses of its state legislature to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.) People upstate aren't that much nicer than people in New York City. The superiority complexes on roids are infuriating. Even 90% of upstate New Yorkers have a superiority complex. It wouldn't matter for whom New Yorkers vote, because the winner would govern poorly. I am not surprised that anyone would want to crash a plane into a building within New York City, and I wouldn't be surprised by a terrorist attack upstate either. I am not surprised that cars with a New York license plate get stopped in other states because of anti-New York sentiment. If I didn't live in New York, I would rather lose a limb than go back to New York.

"I'm glad I don't live in New York anymore." Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
